Case Study: University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee streamlines academic scheduling and improves curriculum management with CourseLeaf

University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee cuts 30 weekly scheduling error reports with CourseLeaf

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee faced recurring scheduling errors and conflicts due to manual processes and a lack of controls in its homegrown tools. This labor-intensive system required the registrar's office to run dozens of weekly error reports and manually correct mistakes, creating a significant administrative burden. The university turned to vendor CourseLeaf and its CLSS academic scheduling software to address these challenges.

By implementing CourseLeaf CLSS, the university achieved a night-and-day improvement. The solution provided proactive error warnings that dramatically reduced data entry mistakes, improved workflow and inter-department communication, and offered powerful data reporting functions. The software integrated seamlessly with the existing Peoplesoft SIS. These results gave campus leaders the renewed confidence to develop and implement an ambitious new student-centric scheduling policy aimed at increasing classroom efficiency and improving the student experience.
