Student Information System (SIS)

SIS allows on-line access to student records and course information. Much of the data housed in SIS is confidential, so authorization is required to gain access. Contact Rita Newell (2-5503).

If your SIS password expires (or you forget your password), contact the ISO Help Desk at 532-6282.

The Student Records Policy — Kansas State University applies to information included in SIS. Do not print off or release information except as permitted by the Student Records Policy.

Students have access to their own student record information through KATS. Explanations follow for some of those screens most useful to advisers.
