Introduction

The Course Information System (CIS) is the University’s institutional course information system. It provides convenient, online services to support the administration of courses for instructors, departments, and faculty offices. CIS assists instructors in the creation of their course syllabi by providing tools to inform the development of their marking scheme as well as guidelines on faculty and institutional policy statements. CIS also provides instructors and administrative staff a secure, online platform for the submission and duplication of final exam papers.
