DAAHE Q4 Meetup
From 1,400 Pages to a Single Click: How Dakota State Put AI to Work on Graduation Audits
Dr. Andy Behrens, Assistant Professor, Dakota State University β joined by one of his students
DSU staff were reviewing DegreeWorks audits by hand, sometimes in batches of more than 1,400 pages. RegFlow, a purpose-built AI solution with human review at every step, now processes an entire graduating class instantly and saves staff more than 100 hours a year. What began as one staff member's frustration is now a Provost-endorsed initiative.
βFitting AI to a narrow problem β why a purpose-built pipeline worked where chat tools didn't
βGovernance from day one β no stored student data, delegated sign-in, staff approval before any email goes out
βGetting buy-in β how one department's tool earned support from campus leadership
βLessons for your institution β using AI responsibly with regulated student data
Ends with open discussion β bring your questions and your own campus AI experiences.
