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.

Modules

CIS is split into three functional areas called Modules. The availability and contents of each module vary by division.

Syllabi

The Syllabi module allows an instructor to submit their course's marking scheme and syllabus to their department, while ensuring that Faculty and University policies and guidelines are met. The Syllabi module also provides important, high-level information regarding the course such as sessional dates, requisite information, and class meeting times and locations.

Exam Details

The Exam Details module allows an instructor to submit logistical information relating to the administration of their course's final exam to their department, including scheduling, equipment, and supplies requirements.

Final Exam

The Final Exam module allows an instructor to submit their course's final exam, cover sheet, and printing instructions to their department.
