“I have the zeal of a convert when it comes to ofCourse. Using an algorithm to produce the class schedule is a no-brainer, but only if the system is intuitive and flexible, and comes with loads of user support. All three are true here.”William McGeveran

“I have used ofCourse for 3 years. I love this product! It is powerful, has lots of tools with many good uses, and is very easy to use. The conflict checker, schedule reports, and public views that allow you to look at the data in many ways, allow me to use the product all year long. The customer support (Troy DeArmitt) is exceptional. Troy gives you as much time as you need to get the best performance from the software. I highly recommend ofCourse!”Alice B. Isley

“The ofCourse Scheduling software helped us to migrate our course scheduling process from a series of Excel sheets to one consolidated program. Last semester we used ofCourse to schedule 169 professors teaching 235 classes. Using the automated faculty emailing system to gather teaching preferences took a lot of pain out of the process and gave faculty an easy way to list conflicts.”Hilary T. Lappin

“10/10 Would totally use again and recommend to friends. Training was fun, not painful. Program is easy to learn and will make you happy inside if you’ve ever scheduled an academic year for a law school without assistive technology. I love that it’s smart enough to build multiple schedules in seconds and has the flexibility for users to fine tune the schedule without unraveling the whole thing.”Kim Hai Pearson

“I love using ofCourse! It has made the process of scheduling faster. Instead of weeks it takes a couple of days to put a solid schedule together. For the first time we were able to build a student centered schedule that also takes into account faculty preferences. Being able to analyze the schedule in various ways helps to give us a more detailed understanding about the decisions we make. When a professor asked that his bar course be switched to a different day and time, I was able to send him the weekly grid view of the schedule so that he could see what the impact of moving that course would do to students. Once he saw that he understood why I placed him where I did and appreciated the insight.”Rhonda Stokes

“ofCourse has revolutionized our scheduling process! Since implementing this software, we've experienced a dramatic simplification in how we manage our course scheduling process. The export features are particularly impressive, producing sharp, professional-looking schedules that are easy to distribute and understand. Moreover, ofCourse excels at accommodating faculty preferences.
One of the standout aspects of ofCourse is the exceptional customer support, personified by Troy. His thorough training sessions ensure that we're utilizing the software to its full potential, and his ongoing availability for questions and assistance is invaluable.”Zoe E. Niesel
