A shared service across SUNY campuses
SUNY's Non-Credit Student Information Management project aims to connect course search and registration with learner records and credentials across campuses. It should help people find suitable learning and give SUNY reliable participation and outcome data.
What SUNY asked for
People learning
Find offerings, join classes, follow progress and access credentials.
Campus and employer teams
Manage offerings, registration, group training and funding where it applies.
Across SUNY
Connect records, support and reporting across different campus systems.
The RFP sets this scope. Our review checks the public course path in the working prototype.
