Implementation of new Student Information System (iSIS) continues

Posted on by Aimee Hagedorn

When K-State students left for summer break the implementation of the new student information system known as iSIS was nearing completion. Financial aid applications were processed and aid awarded in iSIS, and enrollment for the 2008 fall semester was also completed in the new system. Since then additional functionality has been made available for K-Staters including:

  • Updating personal information
    Students are able to update their personal information (home (local) address, permanent address, phone number, etc.) online
  • Managing student account information
    K-Staters view and pay bills online, view holds on account

After the first of September, transcripts requested by active students will be printed from iSIS.  To ensure accuracy of this new transcript, the Registrar’s Office staff will closely scrutinize every transcript prior to release which may cause a slight delay in the release. Stay up-to-date with iSIS by visiting www.k-state.edu/isishelp/students.
