Student Information System
What is the Student Information System?
The Student Information System, or SIS, provides a convenient method for
students to register for courses and obtain information from the
Registrar's
and Bursar's offices. SIS is a menu driven system which uses on-screen
prompts to allow you to access the function you desire and navigate
through
the various options.
Why should I use the Student Information System?
Use SIS to view and, when appropriate, update the following student
and financial record information as well as
register for courses.
- Academic information (view only)
- grades
- class schedule
- GPA statistics

How do I get help with the Student Information System?

To learn more about SIS before you begin using it, type help sis
at the OpenVMS "$" prompt. If you need
to get help while using SIS, follow the instructions provided on the
screen.

See the bottom of this page for information on how to contact the
Registrar's and Bursar's offices.
How do I use the Student Information System?
Choose SIS from the main menu, or type SIS at the OpenVMS "$" prompt.
Enter your Social Security number,
excluding hyphens. The cursor automatically jumps to the "Enter Option"
position. Leave this area blank and
press <Return>.
Users who have never used SIS or dial-in telephone registration are
prompted for their birth date and asked to
create a new six digit Personal Identification Number (PIN).
- Navigate through the Student Information System
Enter the number of the function you desire to perform after the
"Enter Option" prompt. Press <Return>.
When asked to identify the QUARTER, enter a five digit number consisting
of the academic year and the
quarter. Fall quarter is number 1. Refer to the following schedule for the
1999-2000 academic year:
- 19991 -Fall, 1999
- 19992 -Winter, 1999
- 19993 -Spring, 2000
- 19994 -Summer, 2000
When asked to identify the DISCIPLINE, refer to the printed class
schedules for the first four digits of the
course number.
Use the <Tab> key to move between fields. To exit SIS, press the
<Control-C> (the <Control> key and the <C>
key at the same time).
- Tips for using the Student Information System
Exit the SIS system completely to ensure privacy of your
records.
Remember your PIN for future uses. If you are unable to remember your PIN
(you will be allowed five
attempts), contact the Registrar's Office at (585) 475-2821 or (585)
475-2825. Your forgotten PIN will be
deleted. Then you may log back onto the system and establish a new PIN.
You may change your PIN at any
time by selecting the "Personal Identification Number Modification" option
from the SIS main menu. This will
help ensure your privacy.
