75% of the top US colleges use Guidebook

Guidebook was a great solution because it helped students customize their own schedule, get connected to other offices on campus, and connect to each other. Right away it felt like the right fit.

Built for new student orientation

Guidebook puts personalized schedules, interactive campus maps, and real-time updates in one app. So staff spend less time answering the same questions, and more time making students feel like they belong. No IT skills needed. No printed programmes. Just a first week that actually works.

Welcome week made simple

Orientation is complex. Last-minute changes, hundreds of sessions, thousands of new students. Guidebook keeps everyone on the same page with real-time updates and personalized schedules.

Schedule a Demo
A schedule that shifts without the panic

A venue floods and you move the session. Every phone knows before the first student walks the wrong way.

Push notifications that cut through the noise

One message hits every screen instantly. A lockdown, a weather close, a room change lands without delay.

Offline access when the network fails

The basement hall has no signal. The schedule and map still work. No one is stranded.

Check-in that takes a single second

A quick scan and they are through. Lines dissolve and the event starts on time.

Everything they need at their fingertips

From campus activities, to clubs, to who to ask for help, your app gives new students the resources to help them feel they belong.

Personal tracks built in seconds

A student picks their sessions and the app builds their week. No one stands at a printed board squinting.

A branded look from the first tap

Your crest, your colors. It already starts to feel like home before they've even found their dorm.

Feedback captured before they leave

A quick survey on the last day. You know what landed and what to sharpen for next year.

The campus event app universities trust

Big crowds, last-minute changes, no room for mixed messages.
Schedules, maps, and alerts in one orientation app.
