Coastal Carolina University

Elevating Orientation, One Teal Nation at a Time

Coastal Carolina University uses Guidebook to power a fully paperless orientation experience for one of its largest incoming classes yet (with over 70% of students arriving from out of state, many for the very first time).

Inside the app, students and families can:

- Navigate an unfamiliar campus with interactive maps and turn-by-turn guidance.
- Follow real-time schedules that update instantly when plans change.
- Stay on separate family and student tracks to keep parallel programming clear.
- Access next steps like family weekend registration and pre-arrival task lists.
- Download the app right at check-in via QR code.

The result is a more confident, connected, and campus-ready incoming class (and the analytics to prove people are genuinely using it).
