Does this integrates with Banner? That would be a killer feature if it did (like Coursicle), that's what most schools use for their registration (despite it having a very poor UI/UX IMO).
Banner (and Ellucian) is my trigger word.

Having integrations with ERP systems in the education space would be a great way to save students the trouble to enter all the enrollment data like classes, etc.
The issue is that there are simply too many different systems across the globe, lot of them without anything resembling an API. Ellucian Banner looks interesting, will check it out further, thanks

Absolutely, and I think that's what would give a good opportunity for monetization in this space. Someone whose willing to deal with the lack of APIs, differing versions, incorrect SSL configs, etc. and put it into a user-friendly app will be able to get value directly from the end users--students and profs--and disrupt the lack of innovation from Ellucian et al.
Made a new student planner for the iPhone
Complete enrollment management with terms, courses, homework, and gradings. Support for repetitive and MWF classes, including attendance tracking. The calendar shows you all the study data, not only your classes. Switch easily between month and week mode. Your calendar can also be shared with Google Calendar, Outlook, Apple Calendar or any other 3rd party app which supports the .ics format.
Create homework and gradings with full support for repeating occurrences. Use filters to easily see what's important right now. Customize the grading scale to your needs and have all your marks and course averages at hand, including GPA.
