Student Information System Project

The Student Information System (SIS) Project is currently in the requirements definition phase.  We are using Advantiv’s Decision Director online product to provide Texas State Faculty and Staff the ability to participate in reviewing the requirements for the future SIS system.  The Advantiv Help documents below are provided to assist in your participation.  This documentation is also available on the Decision Director site in their Document Repository Forum. 

If you have any questions about the SIS project, please check the SIS website at www.tr.txstate.edu/sis.  Thanks for your support.
