Case Study: National Louis University streamlines course copy management with Ellucian

How Impact Award Winner National Louis University automated its course copy selection process

National Louis University faced significant challenges with its manual and error-prone course copy process, which was causing overwritten records and a high volume of individual faculty requests. This inefficient system demanded excessive hours from staff and faculty, particularly from the Learning and Design team. To address this, NLU turned to Ellucian for a solution, seeking to automate and streamline their operations.

By implementing Ellucian's Banner Page Builder and Banner Communication Management, the university created a centralized, automated system for bulk course copying and approver notifications. This solution from Ellucian led to dramatic improvements, including a 95% reduction in processing errors and a 70% drop in individual copy requests. The transformation saved countless work hours, ensured classes were ready on time, and significantly improved the experience for both faculty and students.
