Coursedog’s Event Scheduling solution enables your institution to make the most out of your campus space with:

A user-friendly public events website that makes it easy to promote events to students and staff.
Custom event request forms to collect relevant details for all event types.
Dynamic workflows that ensure event requests are seen by the right people.
Automated email notifications to help accelerate event management.
A requests dashboard that allows you to easily view and vote on those requests.
Easy-to-send contracts and auto-generated invoices, plus the ability to track payment progress.
A wide variety of out-of-the-box reports to help you stay on top of events and resources – download any to share with stakeholders and even subscribe to stay informed.
