2. Executive Overview  As students work to complete their respective degrees at the University of San Diego (USD), needs arise to monitor and track grades earned and courses completed.  By providing an interactive, securitized web- based application for tracking student progress, USD can better utilize current technologies and add value for their clients, the university students.

3. Features  Must be securely accessible by students  Accessible from any computer terminal with Internet connectivity.  Ability to view completed and current classes taken, complete listing of grades earned, and cumulative GPA calculation.  Ability to manage course/grade data, allowing for basic data addition/modification/deletion operations.

4. Business Rationale  The University of San Diego utilizes a web-based application called WebCT that provides a way for instructors to post student grades.  Dr. Carl Rebman, a USD Information Technologies instructor, has a web-based grade reporting tool allowing students to view their grades by submitting their student ID and password.  These alternatives do not provide a way for cumulative GPA to be calculated.

5. Deliverables Create the following pages: –Customer log in page –Create user account page –View all courses page (includes GPA calculation) –Manage course information page (modify courses/grades received) –“Contact Us” page to include web form that generates an e-mail
