Overview of Student Records Implementation

Oracle Student Records enables you to set up and maintain your academic structures, curriculum structures, curriculum items, and academic calendars.

You can enter, track, and process all academic information, from the course catalog and to student programs. You can enroll, grade, and evaluate students.

Users with the Application Implementation Consultant job role can implement Student Records. This topic provides an overview of the individual setup tasks for Student Records implementation. Or, you can complete much of the implementation using the Rapid Implementation process.
