InSite: A Web-based Student Information System

Project Description
The College of Education at UL Lafayette has approximately 2,500 students. Many faculty members have more than 100 student advisees. InSite, a web-based student information system, was developed to provide faculty, staff, and students a tool to facilitate advising and to satisfy data reporting needs of the College.

InSite provides faculty essential information on students' academic records such as courses taken, GPA, and Praxis test scores, provides the College data for generating reports to satisfy requests from accreditation organizations such as NCATE and SACS, provides students the facilities to check their progression through the degree program, and provides timely information to students, faculty, and staff in regards to information related to advising and program requirements. InSite is a key component in the College's strategy to leverage Internet technologies to reduce faculty/staff workload and enhance the undergraduate and graduate student experience. InSite fits into our larger goal of creating a web portal that provides timely information of vital interest to our students, faculty, and staff.
