Course Compass is an in-development web application that aims to provide university students with a simple-to-navigate interface for discovering, selecting, and reviewing courses. The main focus of the project is to reduce stress experienced by students when it comes time to enroll in classes for their next semester, as well as supply them with a centralized platform to keep track of their academic progress and enrollment decisions. 

​

The primary goal of Course Compass is to assist university students with the process of selecting their courses via a maximally user-friendly interface that caters to students’ opinions, career and academic interests, and degree requirements. The conception of this product arose from the team’s personal difficulties experienced when attempting to maneuver the University of Nevada, Reno’s course registration website, MyNEVADA. Thus, the intended user audience of Course Compass is college students. In particular, students attending the University of Nevada, Reno. The reason for this limitation is to maintain a realistic project size given the team’s resources due to the immense scope of universities around the nation, and the even larger number of courses. UNR students dissatisfied with MyNEVADA’s design, or students simply seeking a simple platform for academic progress tracking, may find Course Compass to be of much benefit.
