The Current State

As the head of information systems for Acme College you are tasked with developing a new student registration system. The college would like a new system to replace its much older system developed around that has a lot of the manual processes.

The current situation does not provide an online registration process whatsoever. The student still must go to his advisors office, talk her/his schedule over with the advisor, get it approved and signed, then take the approved schedule at the registrars office to be officially signed in.

Worse, the students dont have access about the courses to decide what they want to take. For example, the students have to go to the office of their program (eg. Marketing in the Business School) to look on a board to see the course description. Sometimes the information was not even there or it was out of date. Students have to wait around to get a meeting with an Advisor which may not be for a week. It would be helpful and save a lot of time to have all of the course information in the same place. Other problems with the current state include :

• Currently they print out hard copies of the schedule and the schedule hard copies often are out-dated
• Changes to schedule are manual and it is hard to keep track of the changes. Students have gone to the wrong class, at the wrong time because the schedule was always changing
• Course updates are done by phone and email, and sometimes do not get done
• There are cases where classes are booked, and no one shows up
• Professors get double booked or assigned to the wrong course

Future State - Requirements for Improvement to be Implemented

Requirements for Improvements have been elicited for what the Course Registration System will be able to do and include the following : 1. Students shall be able to VIEW a list of their CLASSES and also REQUEST CHANGE in DAY/TIME of CLASS as there is usually at least 2 CLASSES at different times and days for each Course.

2.Students shall be able to REQUEST dropping a COURSE and REQUEST adding a COURSE (note different between a class and a course a Course is PMGT 707 and a Class is Mondays @ 3:50 p.m)

3. Students shall receive an automatic notification of CONFIRMATION of REGISTERED in a Course and in a Class If a Class fills up during the actual registration process, the student must receive a NOTIFICATION automatically by the CRS the class is full; the system shall be able to Provide a list of other Class days/times and Request student select another Class

4. Professors shall be able to VIEW their list of Courses and also VIEW their list of classes. 5. Because Professors ideally must teach the classes are assigned circumstances arise that the Professors shall be able to REQUEST CHANGE of CLASS ASSIGNMENT they can NOT change COURSE Assignment

6. IN the current state there the fact that there was NOT have a record of the grades online caused problems for both the students and the professors. For the Future state, it is an important requirement that the ability for Students, Professors and Course Administrators be able to SEARCH, UPDATE and RECORD GRADES.

Students have asked that they may request a COURSE CATELOGUE containing a list of course offerings for the semester and View Information about each course, such as professor, department, and prerequisites, will be included to help students make informed decisions.

The idea to improve the entire course registration and management experience is that once the registration process is completed for a student, the registration system sends information to the billing system so the student can be billed for the semester. The billing system will be able to Receive Payment, Confirm Balance Outstanding (including $ 0), and Send a Receipt
