About Focal SIS
Focal SIS is a cloud-based Student Information System (SIS) for higher education institutions. It unifies advising, financials, enrollment, and communication, with a core focus on degree auditing to guide student registration and academic planning.
Focal SIS by Kuali is a modern, cloud-based Student Information System (SIS) designed for colleges and universities. Previously known as Kuali Student, the platform has been reimagined to be highly configurable and centered on student success. Its core is a powerful degree audit system that integrates advising, financials, and enrollment into a single, seamless platform. This ensures students register for degree-applicable courses, minimizing wasted credits and financial aid risks. Focal SIS automates complex workflows and policy enforcement, significantly reducing manual administrative tasks. The platform is browser-based, mobile-ready, and designed for clean integration with other campus systems like CRMs and LMSs. Kuali offers transparent, site-wide licensing with unlimited users and support, but does not publish specific pricing, requiring a demo request. It is a fully cloud-based SaaS solution.
