A student information system (SIS) or student management system or school management software or student administration system is a management information system for educational institutions to manage student data. Student information systems provide skills to enroll students in courses, document grading, transcripts, student test scores and other assessment grades, building student schedules, tracking Student attendance and the management of many other student-related data needs. A SIS should not be confused with a learning management system or virtual learning environment, in which course materials, assignments and assessment tests can be published electronically.
The SIS can include features that can be considered as a business resource planning system or ERP for a corporate client. As such, many of the problems with ERP system selection methodology, implementation and operation of an ERP system also apply.
These systems vary in size, scope, and capability, from packages that are deployed in relatively small organizations to only cover student records, to enterprise-wide solutions that cover most aspects of large multi-accountability organizations. Many systems can scale to different levels of functionality by purchasing complementary "modules" and can usually be configured by their home institutions to meet local needs.
Since the millennium, and partly because of the "Y2K", which referred to birth dates and other basic data for any ERP, most SIS vendors took the opportunity to design new features in their products not only for classrooms And housing, Processes in relation to the life cycle of a student.
