Our (SIS) underpins student services on all Tufts campuses and affects almost every aspect of student life at Tufts. Because SIS affects almost every aspect of student life at Tufts – from admissions to graduation – implementing a new SIS infrastructure will enhance our ability to support students and faculty and collaborate on interdepartmental or cross-school programs.

2. Building New SIS: One Step at a Time
To accurately rebuild SIS, we need to design a system that reflects Tufts’ current academic landscape. Though this article focuses on one topic – course enrollment – the SIS Project team has identified nearly 150 unique processes that deserve the same level of review.
