About The Management Information System (MIS)

Mission: To catalogue and automate the University’s information services for effective dissemination of information.

Vision: Towards attaining an efficient and ubiquitous management information system for informed academic service delivery.

INTRODUCTION
The dawn of the digital age has made it mandatory for every institution to have a fully-functional Management Information System (MIS) and the Cross River University of Technology (CRUTECH) is not lagging behind. In CRUTECH, the MIS Unit serves as a knowledge management centre. It provides a formal system where students’ profiles are catalogued and automated thereby providing management with accurate, timely and up-to-date information necessary for decision making.

HISTORY
What is today known as the MIS Unit was conceived in 1996 by Dr. I. U. Ugot, the then Rector of the erstwhile polytechnic, Calabar. Mr. Terence Eyo, the then Head of the Computer Centre also served as the officer-in-charge of the Unit with Mrs Victoria E. Edet as the only supporting staff.
At that time, the major role of the MIS Unit was to collect, process, store and transmit information on staff records and students’ results to management on demand.
With the advent of CRUTECH in September, 2002, the Unit continued to play its traditional role of collecting, processing, storing and transmitting information until 2010, when the Unit was restructured to assume additional responsibilities including administering the University’s Educational Portal System; with obvious implication of managing a more complicated and robust information apparatus. Consequently, today, the MIS Unit has become the pride of CRUTECH. It is the engine room for managing students’ profiles and providing up-to-date and prompt information for the University.

The Unit is blessed with a team of very dedicated and committed staff who are working assiduously to ensure the realization of the University’s mission and vision.
