Known as "CamSIS", this is the University's comprehensive system for handling student information, records and transactions. As the official source of student records from application all the way through to graduation, it is used daily by staff, students and alumni to manage and extract student data. It is also major contributor in providing data that helps secure funding for the Unversity.
We release fixes and new features every Tuesday morning during the vulnerable period. The system remains available unless explicity stated below.
Every Tuesday and Thursday between 06:00-09:00 is designated as a vulnerable period, meaning the system may be briefly unavailable at any time as a result of system maintenance.
More significant work may take up the whole of the vulnerability period. Emails are sent to the CamSIS bulletin list with specific timings closer to the date.
