Product Review of College Office
College Office is a cloud-based learner information management system for higher education suitable for smaller institutions and start-ups. It has the registrar, instructor, and learner modules designed to address their specific needs. It uses a per-learner billing rate, which makes it affordable for small-scale operations.
What Users Love About the App
“The online functionality makes the distribution of schedules and report cards a breeze, no more printing schedules for each student the first day of class. The interface is clean and easy to navigate.”
“We were previously using a desktop version of College Office with only our registrar having access, so the ability to log in remotely and give access to multiple users is a great improvement with this program. The system is extremely user–friendly, meets all of our needs, and the customer support and responsiveness is outstanding.”
“This is a great software for academic professionals because it allows them to gather more information about their class.”
“It is web-based, so it’s accessible from every workstation and out of the office. It is specifically designed for schools like ours. The follow-up of customer service is outstanding. The onsite training is a great plus!”
“After using College Office (previous version) since the ’90s, I like the fact that this new online version is safe, fast, and easy to use. Customer support is top-notch, there is nothing this company won’t do to help a client.”
“I like that it can address our specific needs. When we need a particular item we are always answered very quickly.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“The thing I like least is that there are too many clicks to get to where you want to be. Maybe a shorter route will help in some instances.”
“We haven’t used it enough so far to see the “cons.” The features we need are not all there but the company is willing to work with us for custom needs.”
“It most likely isn’t as effective as other similar software. It is also rather simplistic, it needs more features.”
“The cost of custom reports can escalate quickly if your needs are specialized. The point and click interface, though great for mobile access, makes data entry harder.”
