This eliminates manual rejection and reduces administrative friction.

Key Features

Real-time conflict check when enrolling students
Automatic email alerts to counselors when a conflict is detected
Dashboard for instructors to view and manage enrollment conflicts
Integration with existing student information systems (SIS)

Target Users: University instructors and counseling/registrar staff at higher education institutions

Revenue Model: $2 per student per semester or $500/year per institution tiered by enrollment size
