Welcome!

Welcome to the Faculty Information System (FCINF), a menu driven system designed to give faculty access to data useful in advising students. The course specific information from the mainframe is now available via the web.

The Faculty Information System (FCINF) is a fully integrated menu-driven system that provides faculty members with access to a variety of student and course information.

Using FCINF, a faculty member can view class lists and grade verifications or update their own office hours. FCINF also contains course request counts and actual enrollment counts. This information is valuable when planning course offerings for upcoming semesters.

FCINF is also a powerful tool to be used in advising students. It is complementary to the Student Information System (STINF) and Curriculum Advisement and Progress System (CAPS), and shares the same databases.

By using the "hold" function of FCINF, a faculty member can require that their advisees visit them before scheduling.

To access FCINF, your browser must be set to enable Java and accept all cookies. If you experience problems, please follow directions below under the Problems Logging In Section below.

Hours its available


FCINF is available Mon. through Fri. 8 am to midnight; Sat 8 am to 9 pm*

  *As the university proceeds with plans to assign a new ID number to each student we will need to curtail Sunday access hours until further notice. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but we need this time to reorganize the database into the required format.

MAC User Problems


MAC OS 9.x Users - Netscape Navigator 4.7, which is available on most campus computers or can easily be downloaded, provides effective access to the mainframe computer, STINF, and FCINF.

MAC OS X Users - Netscape Navigator 4.7 also works fine in the Classic mode under OS X and should be used to access the mainframe programs STINF and FCINF. (The OS X version of both Netscape and Microsoft Explorer, however, do not work with OS X and should be avoided for accessing the mainframe programs.)
