What is Class Alert?

Class Alert combines all the tools useful to college students in one location to give them the opportunity to create their ideal class schedule each semester. The site incorporates professor and course reviews, course grade distributions, universities' course catalogs, a textbook search engine, and an alert system that allows students to setup notifications of such changes as a seat in a desired course becomes available or the price of a needed book drops below a certain price. Class Alert's textbook search system searches over nine million textbooks across other textbook sites such as Amazon and Half.com to find the best prices to buy sell, or rent books in order to avoid paying outrageous bookstore prices or getting ripped off when selling your books back. Class Alert offers a unique combination of accessibility, functionality, and practicality.

How does Class Alert's notification system work?

Class Alert is a system designed to utilize today’s high-speed notification systems (text, voice, and email) to enable students in creating a better course schedule by allowing them to enroll in classes that they desire. It uses a patented technique of obtaining university course information, specifically the amount of open seats available for particular courses. Class Alert then maintains a database of this information, constantly updating itself at very regular intervals (usually every minute or less). If a monitored class has open seats, the user is notified via SMS (text), voice call, and email. If the student gets into the desired class, they can then cancel the alert and enjoy their perfect schedule. Alerts can also be setup to monitor prices on specific books.

What schools/universities/colleges are supported by Class Alert?

Class Alert will eventually support all US colleges, including public and private universities, community colleges, and online universities/colleges. You can find a full list of supported schools here. At Class Alert, we are working hard every day to add as many schools as possible, with thousands of schools all across the country it is difficult to get all of them supported right away. Currently, we are adding schools based on popular demand. If your school is not supported, we recommend you encourage your classmates to register with Class Alert to help speed things up. We are looking to hire campus reps and software engineers to help get their schools supported. If you would like to be notified when your school is supported, click here.
