Description

Syracuse University gave every student, faculty member, and staff member access to Claude, and is launching Clementine, a class-search tool that uses Claude Opus to query millions of rows of enterprise data in real time through custom MCPs so students can ask natural-language questions about which classes to take. The university's Chief Digital Officer also redesigned a practice exam using Claude to test recall through short written answers instead of multiple choice, after which real exam scores rose 12 points, and reports Claude Code is now the most requested tool among IT staff and other university staff.

Problem

The way students search for classes was broken and keyword-based, returning irrelevant results and giving no way for a student to ask what classes to take next based on their history and goals; separately, traditional pedagogy and assessment methods haven't changed in over a hundred years, making it hard for professors to reach every student individually.

Solution

Syracuse University rolled out Claude to every student, faculty and staff member, and launched Clementine, a class-search tool that uses Claude Opus 4.6 to query millions of rows of enterprise data in real time through custom MCPs so students can ask natural-language questions and get answers tailored to their situation and career goals. Faculty also use Claude to redesign assessments, having students type short written answers that Claude grades against material actually covered in class, and are piloting Claude Code for IT staff and other university work.

Business value

After redesigning a Claude-based practice exam from multiple-choice to short written answers graded against course material, one professor's real exam scores were 12 points higher than they had ever been. A budget planning officer reports that work which used to take hours now takes minutes with Claude, and Claude Code adoption among IT staff has seen immediate uptake, including a non-programmer who used it to prototype control system software within a week of it being turned on.
