The Common

The paper describes the initiative of the management of a higher education institution to design and realize an Information System (IS) in order to implement new study rules for new study programmes that are in agreement with the Bologna Declaration. The authors based their work on the common theory about projecting ISs, but with focus on expected practical results. The goal is to achieve better organization in our Institution and necessary informing about conditions and regulations of studies. This information has to be supplied to both students and faculty staff. Knowing the old study system and its differences with respect to the new one, authors attempted to create a prototype for a new IS that incorporates strict rules regarding enrolment into study years, course selection, and taking exams. In this way the IS will resolve many issues and questions for students and staff alike.
