Academic scheduling and event management in higher education
College and university campuses frequently struggle with the task of getting
academic classes and the wide variety of non-academic
meetings and events that they host into the appropriate rooms. And even after the classes,
meetings and events have been scheduled, there is still the challenge of communicating all the
information to students, faculty, staff and the surrounding community.
EMS Campus™ helps higher ed organizations meet their facility scheduling challenges with:
- Powerful academic scheduling software
- A full-featured meeting and event management system
- A comprehensive online calendar program
... all in one.
Complete Campus Scheduling
With EMS Campus, the three primary facets of campus-wide space management – academic
scheduling, event management and campus calendaring – are seamlessly integrated into one
“complete campus scheduling” product.

university's EMS Campus implementation.
For the academic departments and registrars working to ensure that every class meets in
a location and at a time that is acceptable to professors and students, the system
provides automatic room assignment within user-supplied parameters,
integration with your SIS/ERP software and efficient online collaboration tools.
Meeting and event staff have access to a powerful array of tools for booking single- or
multi-day events, reserving the services and resources required for those events, producing
operational and statistical reports, and tracking financial transactions.
For those tasked with generating and maintaining an online campus calendar, EMS Campus provides
much more than a simple regurgitation of event information from the scheduling database. Data
can be pulled automatically and displayed to any of the multiple user-defined calendars,
simplifying upkeep in high volume environments. However, the program also allows for a distributed
management approach in which an administrator oversees the system but individual calendar managers
make entries on their organization’s or department’s calendar and review event submissions from their
members.
