The University of Wisconsin used (and still uses AFAIK) this system as well. "Shopping" for classes was horrendous, and there were at least three interfaces to search for classes.

I can only imagine how hard it was to populate the available classes. I wouldn't be surprised if part of the huge administrative bloat in the various departments was people who's only job was to force data into and out of PeopleSoft.

10 years ago I did exactly this for the University of Wisconsin. My job was entirely to facilitate data extraction out of oracle databases / PeopleSoft for longitudinal studies done by faculty or other interested parties.

There were a few dozen of us spread across the UW System who's sole job it was to extract and massage data from these databases... One, very large, central database that handled data for UW and every satellite college they had.
