About Student Information Systems Program

In 1997, the University of Waterloo embarked on a project to replace its old home-grown student administration system. The Student Information Systems Project was consequently formed and work started on the configuration of the PeopleSoft Campus Solution System, a purchased product from Oracle. The system, now known as Quest at the University of Waterloo, was implemented in 2001.

Since 2001, the Student Information Systems Program team has provided ongoing support for Quest functionality, infrastructure, interfaces, and upgrades.

Quest is currently used by University of Waterloo students, applicants, alumni, faculty, and staff. The Student Information Systems Project is governed by a Management Committee. The Student Information Systems Program team consists of staff from the Centre for Extended Learning (CEL), Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA), the Registrar’s Office (RO), the department of Institutional Analysis and Planning (IAP), Finance, and the department of Information Systems and Technology (IST).
