What is Course Pickle?

Course Pickle helps you create the schedule that you want. No open spots at Virginia Tech? No problem. We'll keep checking live course availability and notify you when a seat opens.

Free email notification when a class opens up.

Text messages are faster than emails. Due to high volume, emails are often delayed up to 5 minutes while text messages are instant. Course Pickle charges $2 per course. (Don't worry, it's worth it!)

Course Pickle is a student-run service and has no direct affiliation with Virginia Tech.

Quick FAQs

Do I need to purchase again after a text alert? Nope. Each alert is paused after we notify you so you don't get spammed. Tap the reset link in the email or text to reactivate the same course without buying another notification.

What if the seat disappears? Seats can vanish fast. If you miss it, hit reset and we'll keep watching that CRN until it opens again.
