{{Short description|Software for educational institutions to manage student and school data}}
A '''student information  system''' ('''SIS'''), '''student management system''', '''school administration software''' or '''student administration system''' is a [management information system](/source/management_information_system) for education sector establishments used to manage student data. It supports communication between students, parents, teachers and the administration. Student information systems provide capabilities for registering students in courses; documenting [grading](/source/Grading_(education)), [transcripts](/source/Transcript_(education)) of academic achievement and co-curricular activities, and the results of student [assessment](/source/Educational_assessment) [scores](/source/test_score); forming student schedules; tracking student attendance; generating reports and managing other student-related data needs in an educational institution.

[Information security](/source/Information_security) is a concern, as universities house an array of sensitive personal information, making them potentially attractive targets for security breaches, such as those experienced by retail corporations or healthcare providers.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Gagliordi |first1=Natalie |title=US universities at greater risk for security breaches than retail and healthcare: BitSight |url=https://www.zdnet.com/article/us-universities-at-greater-risk-for-security-breaches-than-retail-and-healthcare-bitsight/ |work=ZDNet |date=August 21, 2014 |language=en}}</ref>
