Software & Application Development

The tracking database aims to improve the visibility of graduate student data among all interested parties within SAS and in other units at Rutgers. There are 4 components to the system:

• Graduate Student Offer package data collection and management.
• Financial tracking and reporting on graduate student support throughout their career at RU.
• Forecasting, reporting and analysis of financial, demographic and academic data on all doctorate level graduate students.
• Electronic offer letter generation, archiving and management.

The Graduation Awards application is used by academic departments for tracking GRADUATING SENIOR students who are receiving departmental awards.

The Honors Capstone application is for used for Honors Program students to submit their Capstone Form. Faculty advisors and Honors office staff can review the submission.

This project eliminates the need for paper forms entirely. Students log-in to the site and are able to submit their course selections directly into our secure database. Parts of the form are automatically populated to help eliminate data entry errors. Administrators may then log-in and review the submitted course selections in a defined review process that the software manages. Data can then be exported for sending to the registrar. The student data is also automatically retained in the database for review at any time.

The Honors Faculty Mentor application is for Honors Program students who wish to be matched with a faculty mentor. There are currently several separate forms for managing the Honors Program's mentor programs. One is an application for interested upperclassmen in the Honors Program who wish to become peer mentors, and the others are forms for Honors Program students who wish to be matched with a peer mentor and faculty mentor respectively.
