What is SAMIS?
SAMIS is the University’s central database of student records. It stands for: Student & Applicant Management Information System. SAMIS stores data about applicants and students. It’s accessible over the web (SAMIS on the web); or the full database is accessed via a PC client-server. Students have automatic access to SAMIS on the web to view their units; personal details; exam timetables; and choosing their units on-line. Staff need to request access. SAMIS is linked to other computer systems across the University in BUCS and the Library & Learning Centre. The registered status of a student on SAMIS controls access to University resources such as the Library resources; email; gaining a Students’ Union card.
