Bulldogs love CoursesIQ

CoursesIQ literally saved my semester. I found a great elective with a solid professor that I never would have discovered on Banner.

The seat alerts are life-changing. I snagged a spot in CS 2313 within five minutes of someone dropping it. Would have missed it entirely otherwise.
