Case Study: Clemson University achieves streamlined compliance tracking and rapid adoption with Bridge

Developing a Dynamic Approach for Learning Compliance in Higher Education

Clemson University, a public research institution in South Carolina, needed to modernize compliance training across a decentralized learning ecosystem where departments commissioned training and tracked attendance by manual email. After an institution-wide audit, the Performance and Learning team sought a centralized portal to ensure policy-driven certifications, improve tracking, and expand blended learning opportunities.

They implemented Bridge, a centralized platform that lets departments own and publish courses while giving university leaders real-time, granular reporting. In a six-week rollout it reached over 76% adoption (8,000+ users), achieved nearly 70% training compliance within four months, and now tracks more than 80% of required certifications — enabling data-driven planning, micro‑content delivery, and streamlined compliance management.
