The School of Prosperity is developing a new online Student Records System (SRS) to replace their current desktop system. The SRS will allow students to self-register for classes online and allow staff to access student records from any location. The system must maintain student, course, class, and grade records. As the new software architect, the document provides an overview of the current paper-based system and needs for the new SRS. You are to complete a System Request document identifying the business needs, requirements, and value of the SRS, as well as generate five questions to clarify issues about the project.

on the silver tab at the top of this page. (See Syllabus "Due Dates for Assignments & Exams" for due
dates.)i L A B O V E R V I E W Scenario and Summary You have been hired by the School of
Prosperity (SoP) as a software architect to help the school plan, design, and implement a new online
system called the Student Records System (SRS). The Student Records System (SRS), described in the
SRS Preliminary Planning Overview document, is the 7-week-long project that you will work on
throughout this course. You will be developing UML models and documents for the planning, design,
and implementation phases of SRS development. In each week, you will be provided with the
information you need to continue to develop your analysis and design UML models and documents for
this project. In this very first week, you will develop the System Request document that articulates the
business needs and values of the SRS. The SoP school is excited about this project and allowed you to
ask them five questions to clarify project issues for you about the SRS project. You are to include these
five questions in your submitted System Request. Deliverables Complete the System Request Form for
the SRS, including your five questions. i L A B S T E P S STEP 1: Review Starting RSA on Citrix (not

CIS339_Lab1_YourName. Student Records System SRS - Preliminary Planning Overview The School
of Prosperity (SoP) is a small Information Technology & Science school located in the nation’s capital
of Washington, D.C. The school serves a growing student population of about 5000 students by
offering programs leading to the Bachelor and Master degrees in IT and Software development. SoP
has, traditionally, offered most of its classes in a face-to-face modality. Recently and because of the
increased demands of student enrollments, the school started to offer some of its classes online as well.
The school staff currently uses an in-house desktop application to keep track of students, courses, and
to register students for classes. School staff has to be physically in the office in order to access the in-
house application. To register for a class (either face-to-face or online class), a student must complete a
paper registration form, submit it to the school staff, and the staff will then enter the registration
information into the desktop application. This process always generates many errors in moving from
the paper form to the electronic registration filing. Moreover, since there are so many add/drops at the
beginning of each semester, the school staff experiences a higher than normal work volume handling
these add/drop forms preventing them for completing other tasks allocated to them like staff
development and training. To keep up with the high demands of increased enrollments and to allow
students to handle their own registrations online, SoP decided to invest in a new Internet-accessible
Student Record System dubbed SRS. The SRS is to maintain records for students enrolled in the

2. school, courses offered by the school, classes offered of these courses in the two modalities of online
and face-to-face, and student grades for the classes that they have completed. The SRS should be
Internet-accessible and thus allows students to self-register directly for their own classes and allows the
staff to work from any location that has an Internet connection and a web browser. System Request –
