The Cambridge Student Information System (CamSIS) is the University's comprehensive system for handling student information, records and transactions. As the official repository of a student’s record from application all the way through to graduation, it is used by staff, students and alumni to manage and extract student data.
There is a Sharepoint site with lots of useful information (for existing students only).
