Ratings and reviews

Pulse makes it easy to view the assignments due for all of my classes each day in one spot. There are a lot of parts of classes (like grades) that can't be accessed on Pulse, but there is the option to open up the website from Pulse and really I have never found it to be an issue. The push notifications have also totally saved me from missing an assignment a handful of times!

Pulse is and has been such a truly useful app while I have been in school, particularly with my online classes. You have access to your class content directly without having to login your laptop. When I am working or out running errands, I like to do assignments like reading or listening to assigned videos. Highly recommend downloading.

I love it. Easy app to keep up on class announcements, assignments, etc. I'm a very non traditional student, started college at 53, I was very computer/app incompetent and I learned to navigate pulse in the first day. Every student should use this app. If your school don't support this app advocate for it, it's a game changer. All your class information at your fingertips!
