Student Information System (SIS)

Project overview

The SIS concept models a modern campus operating system: registrars lock critical academic dates, faculty deliver instruction with integrity controls, and students self-serve without ticket overload. Finance and library integrations keep downstream systems synchronized while academic records stay authoritative and tamper-evident.

Modules & features

Each module is designed as a self-contained surface with shared platform primitives, identity, auditability, and performance budgets.

Student Enrollment

Term-based enrollment windows, program maps, holds, and residency checks with explainable errors.

• Prerequisite and co-requisite validation
• Overload approvals with faculty endorsements
• Real-time seat caps by section

Registrar

Catalog governance, curricula versioning, substitutions, transcripts, and graduation audits.

• Curriculum snapshots per cohort
• Substitution workflows with audit notes
• Official transcript issuance controls

Grading System

Grade sheets, incompletes, grade change workflows, Dean's lists, and policy locks.

• Deadline enforcement with escalation
• Numeric and competency rubric lanes
• Immutable grade change journal

Class Scheduling

Rooms, faculties, clashes, exams, and section balancing with solver-friendly UX.

• Constraint-aware scheduling boards
• Exam matrix generation helpers
• Swap proposals with approvals

Faculty Portal

Rosters, attendance, LMS handoffs, advisories, and committee workload dashboards.

• At-risk student flags from signals
• Integrated attendance narratives
• Committee workload visibility

Student Portal

Enrollment, invoices, downloadable forms, petitions, advising notes, and mobile-first timelines.

• Unified term timeline with deadlines
• Petition builder with approvals
• Balances and receipts in one ledger view

Finance & Tuition

Assessments, scholarships, installments, cashiering, refunds, and GL export packs.

• Policy-driven installment plans
• Scholarship stacking validations
• Finance exports with reversal pairs

Library Integration

Circulation hooks, fines sync, reserves, SSO, and course reading lists.

• Course reserve automation
• Fine holds that block enrollment
• Stable identifiers across systems

Attendance

Session models, biometric/mobile check-ins, and gradebook-aligned absence patterns.

• Configurable session granularity
• Tamper cues for anomalies
• Guardian notifications where applicable

Academic Records

Immutable academic history, substitutions, petitions, dean's certifications, and document vault.

• WORM-mode records for auditors
• Evidence packs for disputed grades
• Downloadable certs with watermarking

Technology stack

Representative stack choices for this concept, tuned for SSR, typed APIs, and observable deployments.

• Next.js
• PostgreSQL
• Row-level policies
• Queue workers
• PDF / transcript rendering
• Webhooks
