Acquisition of an Integrated Student Information System, Chicago Circle

(14) T h e current student information needs of the Chicago Circle campus are being met by a collection of independent data files, some of which were developed prior to the establishment of the campus in 1965. They have proved inadequate to meet the needs of a large and complex institution. The campus established a Student Information Systems Development Task Force in October 1978 which developed a comprehensive set of requirements for the management of student data at the Chicago Circle campus. An investigation and evaluation was conducted of existing systems at other institutions of higher education and of systems offered by commercial vendors. The results of the study identified the Integrated Student Information System ( I S I S ) ' of the Systems and Computer Technology Corporation (SCT) as the most appropriate for the campus. SCT will provide to the University their "baseline" system of 2,920 man hours of vendor support for installation, user training, and modification/enhancements to the system to meet specific University requirements. The system will be installed in modules and become operational throughout the contract period from March 1, 1982, through October 30, 1983. Selected modules of the system will also be installed at the Medical Center and Urbana-Champaign campuses. T h e chancellor at Chicago Circle has recommended that the University contract with SCT to provide the system as follows: payment of a $261,000 license fee for the nonexclusive perpetual right to use the proprietary SCT system (ISIS) ; and payment of nonlicense fee costs of $202,000 for modification/enhancements, installation, travel, per diem, and training. Institutional funds are available in the operating budget of the University Office of Administrative Information Systems and Services. The executive vice president concurs in the recommendation. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of M r . F o r s y t h , this r e c o m m e n d a t i o n w a s a p p r o v e d by t h e f o l l o w i n g v o t e : Aye, M r s . D a y , D r .

1 ISIS is an interactive on-line system which provides user offices with the ability to use com* pyter terminals to acquire and modify individual student's records. The system maintains information about students, courses, and individual classes via the capabilities of an integrated student and course data base and provides more than twenty-five screens which allow for inquiry and update to information maintained within the data base plus an additional 100 reports containing a variety of. information. The system supports numerous student-related processes including: admission, coursecatalog -and schedule maintenance, student registration, add/drop, billing and collection, grade collection and reporting, and financial aid.
