The ExpanSIS student information system enables the legal and secure sharing of student grades and information.

The ExpanSIS system removes the need to transfer student credits between institutions. Campus coordinators at each institution translate grades to/from university student information systems using a defined translation process.

Course Scheduling

The ExpanSIS system is used by campus coordinators at each institution to schedule courses so that students across the alliance may be enrolled. This also allows for the secure exchange of grades between universities.

Used by Multiple Consortia

Since 2006, ExpanSIS has been utilized by numerous consortia, including two long-standing partnerships, IDEA and the Alliance for Cooperative Course Exchange in the Plant Sciences (ACCEPtS).

Created by IAA and IT

The ExpanSIS system was created by The Institute for Academic Alliances (IAA) in cooperation with Information Technology (IT) at Kansas State University. These groups oversee the operation and maintenance of the system.

Security of Information

IAA and Kansas State University IT ensure the security of information exchanged through ExpanSIS. The secure, web-based system is hosted on the K-State cloud.
