Information system supporting CATS

The U.W.B. has developed an information and database system, supporting the internal Credit Accumulation and Transfer System (CATS). The system primarily supports an on-line student registration to courses within the framework of the existing timetable, and further provides a support for designing and filing study programmes, timetables, student records, agenda of admission and alumni etc. We give a survey of basic features of the system and of history of its development and we present basic rules of the internal CATS that have to be followed by every institution that wants to adopt the system. The system has been already installed at 5 further Universities in the Czech Republic.
