Executive Overview

• As students work to complete their respective
  degrees at the University of San Diego (USD),
  needs arise to monitor and track grades earned
  and courses completed.
• By providing an interactive, securitized
  web-based application for tracking student
  progress, USD can better utilize current
  technologies and add value for their clients, the
  university students.

Features

• Must be securely accessible by students
• Accessible from any computer terminal with
  Internet connectivity.
• Ability to view completed and current classes
  taken, complete listing of grades earned, and
  cumulative GPA calculation.
• Ability to manage course/grade data, allowing for
  basic data addition/modification/deletion
  operations.

Business Rationale

• The University of San Diego utilizes a web-based
  application called WebCT that provides a way for
  instructors to post student grades.
• Dr. Carl Rebman, a USD Information Technologies
  instructor, has a web-based grade reporting tool
  allowing students to view their grades by
  submitting their student ID and password.
• These alternatives do not provide a way for
  cumulative GPA to be calculated.
