A customer quote references an assigned CSM (customer success manager). The only published contact address, [email protected], is a sales channel and is not counted as support. A 'Support' resource link exists but its contents are not described.
“Not listed” means the vendor’s public pages don’t mention that channel, not that it is unavailable. Ask about it during evaluation.

Best for in Education
- Higher-ed registrars, provosts and curriculum committees
- Institutions on Ellucian or Anthology student information systems
- Multi-campus systems managing space, events and faculty workload
- Colleges digitizing catalog, syllabus and assessment workflows
- Accreditation and assessment reporting teams
Not for

- Institutions with no SIS to integrate with
Coursedog is purpose-built for higher education, and every case study and outcome on its site is a college or university. It layers curriculum, catalog, syllabus, scheduling, event scheduling, faculty workload, course demand and assessment on top of the institution's existing SIS, which is the core adoption requirement: integrations are named for Ellucian Banner, Colleague, Powercampus, DegreeWorks, Ethos and Anthology, with SSO and Google Calendar connections alongside. Customers report fewer scheduling and room conflicts, faster curriculum approvals and better space utilization. Buyers outside higher ed, or without an SIS, get little value from the platform.

Bottom line
Coursedog is a higher-ed academic operations platform that unifies curriculum, catalog, scheduling, assessment and course evaluations. It sits on top of the institution's SIS — Banner, Colleague, PeopleSoft, Anthology and others — syncing data in real time instead of spreadsheets. The vendor reports 500+ campuses and 3.5M+ students; customers cite fewer scheduling conflicts, faster curriculum approvals and better space use. Pricing is quote-based and unpublished; deployments are enterprise-scale with CSM-led onboarding.
Frequently asked questions
What does Coursedog replace?
Coursedog consolidates academic operations tools — curriculum management, catalog and handbook, syllabus management, academic and event scheduling, faculty workload management, course demand projections, assessment management and course evaluations — in a single platform that syncs with the institution's student information system.
Which student information systems does Coursedog integrate with?
Coursedog publishes real-time, bi-directional integrations with Ellucian Banner, Colleague, Powercampus, DegreeWorks, Ethos and Anthology, plus SSO providers, SFTP, payment processors, campus signage and Google Calendar/Gmail. An SIS Integration Hub lets staff monitor merge status and run manual merges without external support.
How is Coursedog priced?
Pricing is not published. Coursedog routes buyers through a demo and quote, and describes an annual institutional license. Prospective customers should expect a quote-based contract rather than a published per-seat list price.
How long does implementation take?
Coursedog does not publish an implementation timeline. Because the platform sits on the SIS and touches curriculum, catalog and scheduling cycles, buyers should plan for a term-scale rollout and involve the registrar's office and IT early. The vendor assigns a customer success manager to support adoption.
Does Coursedog use AI, and how is it governed?
Coursedog markets AI-powered academic operations and a product called Coursedog Intelligence. No trust, security or compliance page is included in the available sources, so model sourcing, customer data handling and AI activity logging cannot be verified from the vendor's public material.
What evidence do we have of customer outcomes?
The vendor states it serves 500+ campuses and 3.5M+ students and publishes case studies and quotes from registrars, provosts and deans at institutions including Wilkes University, St. Cloud State, Northern Arizona University and Weatherford College, covering scheduling conflicts, curriculum approval speed, space utilization and revenue growth.
