Student Systems

We are a team of developers and business analysts responsible for the development, management and maintenance of the student record system (SITS), its web interface, e:Vision and its integrations with other business systems (including Blackboard (VLE), Module catalogue, MyTimetable, SkillsForge). 

We collaborate with teams across the University to provide core student administrative services which support the staff and student experience at York.

We support the delivery of the University's strategic change programme through projects working to improve the systems and processes which shape our teaching and research, our decision making and our financial sustainability.

Our vision is for all staff to have access to services which are fit for purpose and make administration and work life easier.
