Overview
Coursedog is a cloud-based web application that you can access in any supported browser.
There are two potential URLs for Coursedog; your Coursedog administrator will provide you with the web address you should use.
We recommend bookmarking the URL so it’s always accessible when you need it.
Supported Browsers
Coursedog ensures full compatibility with the latest general availability release of the following browsers: Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, and Apple Safari.
Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 may be used to access Coursedog applications but will result in a subpar experience.
We recommend Internet Explorer users switch to Microsoft Edge.
Other browsers (including older versions of Internet Explorer) are not supported.
Although users are able to access the app, we cannot ensure full compatibility for all in-app functionality for browser versions that are more than two years old.
Accessing Coursedog
Every institution will have both a Staging as well as a Production environment, which have different URLs.
Most non-admin users will be using Production, but your institution’s Coursedog admin can confirm.
Logging In
Overview
Once you’ve accessed Coursedog in a supported browser, what happens next will depend on whether or not your institution uses SSO.
If You Were Provided Login Information
Enter the login information you were provided for Coursedog. If you do not have that information, contact your administrator.
If Your School Uses Single Sign On (SSO)
If your school uses Single Sign On (SSO), you will need to know your institutional login information. The good news is that you won't have to maintain another username and password!
Step 1: Enter your email address into the standard login page.
Step 2: You will then be redirected to your institution’s login page, where you will input your username and password for your institution.
Step 3: You will be redirected to your institution’s portal, where you will need to “Click to Sign In”.
Product Tiles
Overview
When you log into Coursedog, you’ll see a series of product tiles on your Products Home Page and Product Grid View.
These tiles make it easy to access the different products your institution uses within Coursedog.
How Product Tiles are Organized
Product tiles are grouped into Product Clouds. These clouds help keep related products together and make it easier to navigate your platform.
Curriculum Cloud
Scheduling Cloud
Assessment Cloud
Active and Greyed Out Tiles
Active Product Tiles
These are products your institution has purchased and are included in your user profile.
Active product tiles appear in full color at the top of the product list.
In the below screenshots, the following products are active:
Curriculum
Syllabus
Curriculum Analytics
Academic Scheduling
CDP
Assessment
Greyed-Out Product Tiles
These are products your institution has not purchased. Greyed-out product tiles appear after your active products.
Note that greyed-out product tiles are only visible to Super Admin and Admin users.
When you hover over a greyed out product tile, the tile will display in full color with a “Try It Now” button that links to a page where you can learn more.
In the below screenshots, “Catalog & Handbook” and “Faculty Workload Management” are “greyed out” and so are not actively available to this Admin or Super Admin user, and “Event Scheduling” is only appearing in color because the user is hovering over it, which activates the “Try it now” option.
