ISRA is a web-based system designed to replace the manual Independent Study registration process within Temple University’s CIS Department. Instead of relying on PDF forms passed between students, professors, and advisors, the platform centralizes the entire workflow into a single application, improving efficiency and reducing delays.

The application was built using C#, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and MySQL, focusing on handling a multi-step approval process across different user types. Each role—student, professor, and faculty advisor—interacts with the system at different stages, from submitting requests to reviewing, approving, and finalizing registrations.

Core functionality includes managing the full lifecycle of registration requests, tracking approval statuses, and storing relevant academic data such as deliverables and semester information. The system also supports structured data handling through CRUD operations and ensures users can only perform actions relevant to their role.

This project emphasized designing and implementing a workflow-driven application, strengthening my experience with backend logic, database design, and building systems that handle multi-step user interactions and real-world administrative processes.
