Providing updated and current student information database.

Briefly, the description of ARIS can be expalined under three modules

Admissions

This module handles all matters related to admittance into various university programmes. When applicants submit applications forms, data are entered into the system. The system allows configuring admissions requirements for each academic program, including

Available capacity in terms of number of students
Females upgrading factor if applicable
Entry requirements for each academic program

Finally the system performs an automatic selection based on the provided information and produces a recommended list of the selected applicants for each academic program.

Accommodation

With accommodation, rooms’ allocation is done automatically as long as a student is registered in rooms’ aspirants list. The automatic processing will allocate accommodation to students, based on the configuration of vacancies and the registration of students.

After the automatic process, the system allows for editing the allocations if there is a need to do so and publish the allocations for students and other stakeholders.
