Founded as Universal Algorithms, Inc., the company introduced the first automated classroom scheduling program for higher education. The company continued to expand the scheduling program to include event scheduling and resource management and calendar publishing. The company also introduced web-based graphical analysis tools for campus space planning.[3] In 1995, the company began offering Software as a Service (SaaS) to institutions with the Apply Web® system, which included online admission application processing and evaluation for colleges and universities, as well as recruitment and communication management tools.[4][5]
The company changed its name to College NET in May 1999. In recent years, College NET has expanded its products to include online course evaluation surveys, asynchronous video interviewing, international academic recruitment, and career services for students.[6]
