Student Information Systems and Technologies (SIS&T) department

The SIS&T department is a centralized resource for most computing services for the Student Affairs Division and directly supports 500 staff in 23 departments dispersed across 15 buildings and four cities, approximately 20,000 students, 44,000+ applicants, 240 organizations, and increasing number of parents, alumni, donors, advisors, and faculty. SIS&T has two sub-units: Information Technology (SAIT) and Information Systems (SAIS). The organization provides complex and mission critical homegrown information systems and applications for SA departments, general-purpose tools to all Division users, and increasingly self-service Web applications to the campus population. The team also integrates vendor applications into the UCSB environment, and creates interfaces to other campus Information Systems as needed to accomplish Division goals.
