Cons

“I wish there was a way to download registration reports for select classes all at once; the semester-wide registration report includes students who already withdrew, and going class by class is tedious and time consuming.”
JH

Jay H.

School Administrative Manager

“Additionally, I occasionally wait a bit longer than expected for customer support during peak enrollment periods.”
CF

Caden F.

Director - Designer

“Just recently, after I create an activity, unless it’s brand new, I am unable to add more images to the activity when I try to edit it.”
