“..the bottom line for the Registrar’s Office was that a process which used to linger through the November – March timeframe and involved 3 people is now completed by 1 person in 1 week.” Doris Shand, University College of the North, The Pas, Manitoba “Everyone’s needs were different with many of them not fitting with the way another group or program delivered their courses, CELCAT was able to handle this unlike our previous vendor.” James Norman, University of East London, United Kingdom “23,000 students on site, we live and die with our timetables”
