The CLAS Staffing Plan, also known as Business Management Services (BMS), is an integrative system developed by the Business Center to help academic units manage their courses.
BMS provides the College with the information it needs to meet its teaching mission. It also communicates with the Registrar’s Office to provide an accurate list of course offerings for the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs. Now that the new CLSS system is up and running, that should be the first place for editing course information prior to semester cutoff dates. BSC then imports this data to BMS where final assignment changes can be made.
Academic units can also use BMS to:
Schedule and proof courses.
Review course pressures and graduate assistant needs.
View financial metrics related to courses like temporary labor costs, cost per seat, and teaching load statistics.
Administrators in academic units have the ability to input and edit data regarding course offerings live at any time. The Business Center provides reporting capabilities within the system to review data related to courses, instructors, and students.
