How No-Code Workflow Automation is Transforming Higher Education with Kuali Build

Higher education is facing more pressure than ever to innovate while keeping costs in check. Administrative tasks pile up, resources are stretched thin, and students and staff expect seamless, digital-first experiences. So how do institutions keep up? The answer is workflow automation.

With Kuali Build, universities and colleges can simplify their processes, eliminate bottlenecks, and empower staff—without writing a single line of code. By automating administrative workflows, institutions save time, reduce errors, and enhance collaboration across departments.

Let’s dive into why no-code workflow automation is key to digital transformation in higher education, and how Kuali Build is leading the charge.

The Growing Need for Digital Solutions in Higher Education

Universities and colleges are no strangers to change. Over the years, institutions have adopted digital tools to help manage everything from student enrollment to course registration. But there’s one area that still causes headaches: manual workflows.

Picture this: Your administrators are buried in paper forms, trying to route them for approval, track status updates, and follow up on missing signatures. It's a frustrating and time-consuming process. Worse yet, it eats up valuable resources that could be better spent elsewhere.

As budgets tighten and demand grows, universities are turning to digital transformation to help them do more with less. No-code workflow automation is the perfect solution. It allows institutions to automate routine tasks, streamline operations, and focus on their core mission—education.

What Makes Kuali Build Different?

You’ve probably heard about other workflow automation tools, but here’s what sets Kuali Build apart: it’s built specifically for higher education.

That means Kuali Build understands the unique challenges universities face, from managing complex approval processes to maintaining compliance with regulations like FERPA and GDPR​​. It’s designed to help institutions create digital workflows that fit their exact needs, without requiring technical expertise.

With Kuali Build’s drag-and-drop form builder, any administrator—regardless of their technical know-how—can create, modify, and automate workflows in minutes. The interface is intuitive and user-friendly, so staff can get started right away, reducing the burden on central IT teams.

Empowering Administrators with No-Code Automation

One of the biggest challenges universities face is limited IT resources. Central IT teams are often overwhelmed with requests, and departments are left waiting for months to get a new process up and running. With Kuali Build, you don’t need to rely on IT for every new workflow.

Kuali Build empowers administrators to be ""citizen developers."" That means they can design and manage their own digital processes—from simple leave requests to complex grant approvals—without involving IT at every turn. This gives departments the flexibility to solve problems as they arise, while IT can focus on larger, more strategic projects.

And because Kuali Build integrates seamlessly with other campus systems, such as your student information system (SIS) or learning management system (LMS), you can be confident that data flows smoothly between applications.
