Info for Faculty, Students and Staff
The mission of the SIS Project is to provide Tufts University with an efficient and effective student information system that supports the university’s mission, integrates with existing systems, and adapts to growth and change. At every step of the implementation process, we are focused on the needs of students and faculty at Tufts.

Road to Change
The SIS Project will provide Tufts with a new technical infrastructure for managing student information. The new system will be PeopleSoft Campus Solutions, which we chose because it is a modern, flexible and secure system that appropriately sets the stage for functional and technical innovations in the coming years.
During the Transition from SIS Online to iSIS
During the Transition, Tufts will have Two Student Information Systems.
If your work involves spring 2013 and summer 2013 information, student data will be viewed and managed in the “old” SIS Online. If your work involves information relevant to the fall 2013 term (and beyond), the data will be viewed and managed in the new iSIS.
Learn to Use iSIS: Training and Documentation
Opportunities to learn about the new SIS will be delivered at a time that is as close to each functional rollout as possible. Training will foster practical experience in the skills necessary to use the new system and will be coordinated with local student services staff, at all Tufts schools, on all three campuses. Training will be conducted in multiple formats: instructor-led classes, large group demonstrations, self-paced online tutorials, printed job-aids, and so on.
