MIS 301 - Access Test
Project Description:
Flyer University (FlyerU) uses a MS Access database (that you
will download) to track first-year students and to manage their
course offerings. You are asked to complete the below-
mentioned tasks to help FlyerU with their operating processes.
To begin, download, i.e., Save (do NOT Open), the test database
file named MIS 301_Access_Test.accdb from the course
MyITLab site, if you have not done so already. Logout of
MyITLab and close the browser window. Other than at the start
and end of the test as specified, do not open any windows
except ACCESS.
Instructions:
For the purpose of grading the project you are required to
perform the following tasks:
Step Instructions Points Possible
1 Start Access. Open the downloaded Access file named MIS
301_Access_Test.accdb. 0
2 FlyerU wants to keep data about course sections to be
offered in the upcoming term. Classrooms cannot seat more than
35 students. Create a table named SECTION to store the fields
with the properties as specified below: Field NameData
TypePropertiesRecIDNumberDescription: Primary
keyCourseIDShort TextField size of 6; Description: Foreign
keySectionShort TextField size of 2HonorsYes/NoDefault
value: NoInstructorShort TextField size of
20CapacityNumberMust only allow a value <36
Set RecID as the Primary key field, save the table, and close the
table. 16

3 Create a one-to-many relationship between the CourseID
fields in the COURSE (primary) and SECTION (related) tables.
(Requirement: This relationship must be set up such that it is
not possible to enter a CourseID in the SECTION table that
does not already exist in the COURSE table.) Save the changes
and close the Relationships window.
Hint: On the Database Tools tab, in the Relationships group,
click Relationships. 4
4 Create one record in the SECTION table as follows with
the Instructor field value as your actual name: Field
NameValueRecID1CourseIDBUS201Section01HonorsYesInstru
ctorStudent NameCapacity30
Close the table.
8
5 Advisors need to review information about students and
courses they have taken. Create a form named StudentRecord to
display the StudentID, Name, Major, and Balance (in that order,
from STUDENT) for each student and the CourseID, Title,
Credits (in that order, from COURSE), and Grade (from
TRANSCRIPT) for all courses he or she has taken (in a
subform). The format should facilitate looking at all the
information (as specified) for a student on one screen, i.e.,
without tabs or multiple pages. The boxes/columns should be
wide enough to display the data. Save and close the form. 0
6 FlyerU staff often need to review class rosters. Create a
form named CourseRoster to display for each course its
CourseID, Title, Credits, and Category (in that order, from
COURSE) as well as the StudentID, Name, and Major (in that
order, from STUDENT) of all students in that course (in a
subform). The format should facilitate looking at all the
information (as specified) for a course on one screen, i.e.,
without tabs or multiple pages, although there may be scroll
bars. The boxes/columns should be wide enough to display the
data. Save and close the form. 12

7 FlyerU needs a catalog of courses (suitable for printing)
that shows the CourseID, Title, and Credits (from COURSE) for
courses it offers. Use the Report Wizard to create the report
with the name Catalog. The list should be grouped by the
Category of the school (Arts, Professional, and Sciences) that
offers the courses and sorted by CourseID. It should also show
the total number (i.e., count) of courses within each category as
well as the total count across all categories (Hint: modify the
report as necessary to count the values in the Credits column).
In the Category Footer, to the left of the count, enter the label
Sum for Category. In the Report Footer, to the left of the total
count, enter the label Grand Total. Also, the report must contain
the date and page number (in N of M format) at the bottom of
each page and the preparer's name (type Prepared By: Student)
to the right of the report title on the first page only. Save the
report as Catalog and close the report. 9
8 Student Services monitors the amount left on students'
declining balance cards and alerts academic department chairs if
the average balance for their majors seems low. It needs a
statement (suitable for printing) that shows the StudentID,
Name, and Balance (from STUDENT) for each student. Use the
Report Wizard to create the report with the name Card Balance.
The list should be grouped by Major and sorted by StudentID.
Modify the report as necessary to show the average balance for
each major as well as the overall average across all majors. In
the Major Footer, to the left of the average, enter the label Avg.
In the Report Footer, to the left of the average, enter the label
Overall Average. Also, the report must contain the date and
page number (in N of M format) on the bottom of each page and
the preparer's name (type Prepared By: Student) on the top
(toward the right) of the first page in the report. Save the report
as Card Balance and close the report. 0
9 FlyerU is interested in reviewing courses offered that are
worth only a small number of credits, i.e., fewer than the typical
number of 3. Create a query named Query1
• to display the Credits, CourseID, and Title fields (in that

order, from COURSE)
• sorted in descending order by Credits and within that in
ascending order by Title
• for all courses where Credits is less than 3.
Run and then save the query. Close the query. 10
10 The Accounting department needs to review the account
balance for its majors. Do not display the major itself in the
results, since they are all ACC. Create a query named Query2a
• to display only the Name and Balance (in that order, from
STUDENT)
• sorted in ascending order by Name
• for all students whose major is ACC.
11 The Dean of Professional Programs needs to review the list
of courses offered in his area. He does not need to see the
course category itself in the results since it will be Professional
for all his courses. Create a query named Query2b
• to display only the course Title and Credits (in that order,
from COURSE)
• sorted in ascending order by Title
• for all courses with Category as Professional.
12 The Marketing department needs to identify its students
who may be in trouble financially (i.e., balance less than $25)
or academically (i.e., an F in any course). Create a query named
Query3a
• to display the StudentID, Name, Major, Balance (from
STUDENT, in that order), CourseID, and Grade (from
TRANSCRIPT in that order)
• sorted in ascending order by StudentID
• for all students whose major is MKT and either the Balance is
less than 25 or Grade is F.
Hint: Note that you may have the same student appear multiple

times in the output.
13 The Provost is concerned that students are slacking off in
Arts courses or those that are only 1 credit. She needs a list of
such courses that students have failed. Create a query named
Query3b
• to display the Category, Title, Credits, and Grade (in that
order)
• for all cases with a Grade of F and either Category is Arts or
Credits is 1.
Hint: Note that you may have the same course appear multiple
14 Periodically the Dean of Students meets with groups of
students by major. She wants to see a list of students by any
major she may specify. Create a query named Query4a
• to display the StudentID, Name, Major, and Balance fields (in
that order, from STUDENT)
• for all students based on a Major supplied by the Dean when
the query is run; Create the prompt as [Enter Desired Major].
Run (enter BIO) and then save the query. Close the query. 7
15 The Registrar frequently gets calls from students wanting
to know their grades history. He wants to see a list of courses
and grades for any student he may specify, i.e., the query must
be flexible enough to accept a StudentID when he runs the
query (Note that the Registrar does not know how to design
queries). Create a query named Query4b
• to display the StudentID (from STUDENT table), Name,
CourseID (from TRANSCRIPT table), Title, and Grade fields
(in that order)
• sorted in ascending order by CourseID

• for the student whose StudentID is entered by the Registrar
when prompted on running the query; Create the prompt as
[Enter Student ID:].
Run (enter 10578) and then save the query. Close the query. 0
16 FlyerU wants to estimate the amount paid by each student
for each course he or she failed assuming a per credit fee of
$250. Create a query named Query5a
• to display the StudentID (from STUDENT), Name, CourseID
(from COURSE), Grade, and Credits (in that order)
• a calculated field named WastedFee that displays the result of
multiplying Credits by 250
• where the Grade is F.
17 The Marketing department has received a donation, which
will result in $50 being added to the card balance of each
student whose major is Marketing. An estimate of the new
balance for each Marketing student is required. Create a query
named Query5b
• to display the StudentID, Name, Major, and Balance (in that
order)
• a calculated field named NewBalance that displays the result
of adding 50 to Balance
• where the Major is MKT.
(Do not be concerned about the formatting of NewBalance.)
18 For allocating resources to academic departments, FlyerU
needs to calculate the sum of credit hours taken by students in
each major. Create a query named Query6a
• to display the Major and a field named TotalCredits that shows
the sum of Credits

• for all students within each Major.
19 As part of their monitoring of students' card balances,
Student Services needs to calculate the sum of the card balance
for all students in each major. They need a list of majors and
total card balance for each major. Create a query named
Query6b
• to display the Major and a field named TotalBalance that
shows the sum of Balance
• across all students within each Major.
20 In an increasingly technological world, FlyerU wants to
ensure that it offers some courses that involve computers.
Create a query named Query7a
• to display the CourseID, Title, Credits, and Category fields (in
that order, from COURSE)
• for all courses where the Title field has some reference to
computer (or some variation of that word such as computing or
computation – specifically comput) anywhere in the Title.
Hint: Note that you may need to view the Title field in the
relevant table to decide how to write this query.
21 The chair of the MIS department is concerned that MIS
students may be only taking introductory courses and wants a
list of other courses taken. Create a query named Query7b
• to display the StudentID (from STUDENT), Name, Major, and
Title (in that order)
• for all records where the Major is MIS and course Title field
value does not begin with Intro or some variation of Intro (e.g.,
Introduction, Introducing, etc. but assume that it is too tedious
to predict all the variations.)

22 The Dean needs to check if there are any students who
have not attempted any courses. Create a query named Query8a
• to display the StudentID, Name, Major, and Balance (in that
order, from STUDENT)
• for all students (StudentID, from TRANSCRIPT) who have not
taken any courses, i.e., have no transcript entries.
23 The Provost needs to check if there are any courses that
have not been taken by any students. Create a query named
Query8b
• to display the CourseID, Title, Credits, and Category (from
COURSE, in that order)
• for all courses attempted by no students, i.e., courses
(CourseID, from TRANSCRIPT) that have no transcript entries.
24 At the end, make sure you do the following in sequence:
1. Before you close the ACCESS window, make sure that the
database is still on your desktop (saved).
2. Close the database and then close Access.
3. Launch the MyITLab application and Log-in.
4. Return to the MyITLab Assignment and complete Step 3 by
Submitting/Uploading your completed database. NOTE: This is
the .accdb file and NOT the .laccdb file) Don't forget to
submit/upload!
5. Log out of MyITLab after successfully submitting the
assignment.
6. Email the database to your instructor before you leave the
classroom.
7. Do NOT delete the database from your desktop until the test
is graded or you receive confirmation from the instructor. 0
