University of Missouri–St. Louis reduces manual data entry by 85% with CourseLeaf

The University of Missouri–St. Louis faced a complex and outdated academic scheduling process burdened by extensive manual data entry across multiple disconnected systems. This spreadsheet-driven approach led to frequent errors, scheduling conflicts, and a significant administrative workload for staff. To address this, the university turned to vendor CourseLeaf to implement its CLSS academic scheduling software.

By implementing CourseLeaf CLSS, the university streamlined its scheduling into a collaborative, automated workflow that integrated directly with its PeopleSoft system. The solution provided tools for intuitive editing, policy validation, and role-based permissions, which dramatically improved data quality and oversight. The results were substantial: CourseLeaf helped UMSL reduce manual data entry by 85% and cut schedule changes by more than 65%, allowing staff to focus on strategic planning instead of corrections.
