CAOS - Curricular and Academic Web Services

Overview

The Curricular and Academic (CAOS) Web Services, formally known as the Course Roster Information Service (CRIS), are a set of web service method calls that provide curricular, roster, and student data to authorized recipient systems. Data is organized under three areas: Curricular, Course Roster, and Course Roster with Student. Curricular information includes data on courses and their relationships. Course roster information supplements the curricular data by also providing a list of section enrollees and instructors. Course Roster with Student access provides curricular, course roster, student, and advisor data.
