Course Approval

Course Approval is a U.S.-based software service provider specializing in academic workflow systems for higher education. The company designs, hosts, and maintains a secure, cloud-based platform that streamlines the evaluation and approval of international and domestic course equivalencies for study abroad, exchange, and transfer credit.

Used by universities across the United States and abroad, the system centralizes decentralized academic review processes, reduces administrative workload, and increases transparency for students, faculty, and advisors. Course Approval enables academic departments to review courses, attach policies and documentation, communicate decisions, and build an evolving repository of previously approved courses that preserves institutional memory and supports academic continuity.

In addition to study abroad credit articulation, the platform supports institutions in developing strategic academic pathway programs that align curricula with partner universities. These pathway agreements make it easier to pre-map degree progressions across institutions, improving student recruitment, retention, and time to degree while strengthening global partnerships.
