Case Study: Cuyahoga Community College strengthens student pathways with CourseLeaf

Cuyahoga Community College boosts catalog views to 2.2 million with CourseLeaf

Cuyahoga Community College (Tri-C) faced a challenge with its static PDF academic catalog, which offered limited visibility into student pathways and made it difficult to compare credentials and outcomes. To support its student success mission and its commitment to the Guided Pathways initiative, the college partnered with vendor CourseLeaf to implement its CAT academic catalog software to address these issues.

CourseLeaf worked with Tri-C to build a new student-centered online catalog that organized programs within meta-majors and presented course sequences, career outcomes, and transfer opportunities. The solution integrated with the college's existing systems and allowed students to compare degrees. Following the launch, online catalog usage more than doubled in the first two months, and the catalog became the college's most visited website with over 2.2 million views in its first year, significantly advancing Tri-C's goals for student access, equity, and completion.
