Create near-perfect schedules

It's impossible for humans to design ideal schedules by hand — there are too many variables. ofCourse makes millions of calculations to create near-perfect schedules.

Insulate yourself from faculty demands

Some faculty demand the impossible. ofCourse collects their preferences electronically, then generates the best possible schedule with everyone in mind.

Save hundreds of hours

Designing the course schedule can be your worst time of year. Or it can be the best, with ofCourse. In seconds, our algorithm builds highly optimized schedules that honor faculty preferences while preserving course diversity.

Eliminate sticky-notes and spreadsheets

A snarl of sticky-notes and spreadsheets is no way to build a schedule. Our elegant cloud-based software lets you and your team build beautiful, highly optimized schedules from anywhere.

Optimize for in-class or online

It doesn't matter whether your courses are on campus, online, or both. ofCourse collects your preferences and builds the best schedule for your circumstances.

Lean on our academic support team

Our academic support team has helped build hundreds of university course schedules. Incubated at Washington University in St. Louis, we personally understand the challenges of course scheduling — and we're here to help you every step of the way.

What our clients say

“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.”

“With the help of ofCourse, we built a schedule that received no complaints from the faculty. Zero, none, nada! This is a first in my eight years of helping to build the semester schedule, so it brings me so much joy! No one had to compromise & no one got the short end of the stick.”

Cheryl F. Edwards

Cecil C. Humphreys School of Law
“ofCourse manages the most complicated aspects of scheduling (including avoiding room, time, subject area, and faculty conflicts) in a fraction of the time that it took for us to do it manually. The software is intuitive, and the schedules are consistently better for students and faculty than our old schedules. When we have had questions, Troy is quick to respond to our inquiries. When we need to make a change, it is reflected on the published schedule in real time. After using the software for two years, I cannot imagine going back to manual scheduling.”

“Using ofCourse was one of the best decisions I made as associate dean — it improved our processes, saved time, and made scheduling vastly easier.”

“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.”

“Working with ofCourse couldn‘t be easier. We have been extremely pleased with not only the product itself, but the support we have received. It has made scheduling much easier.”
