The Student Information System (SIS) is Washington University’s system of record for student data. It is the official record of the university. The data in SIS is the foundation of students’ educational record and includes detail on each student’s program(s); students, faculty, advisors, parents, guardians, and staff use SIS tools to maintain students’ programs of study, classes and grades, pay bills, process matriculations, and maintain demographic data. SIS user interfaces include client software for administrative users and a number of web applications designed to meet the needs of specific constituent groups, all of which access SIS data in real time.
SIS interfaces with a number of Washington University enterprise systems, including Canvas, course evaluations, Workday, Habif Health and Wellness Student Portal, and many others.
The Calendar is subject to change per updated guidance on university-wide or school-specific dates.
