Air University Student Management System

The Department of the Air Force (DAF) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to gather industry input on a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) Student Management System for Air University (AU). This RFI is for planning purposes only and does not constitute a solicitation. AU requires a system to manage the complete student lifecycle, from admissions to graduation and transcript services. The system must meet specific requirements across various modules, including admissions, enrollment, graduation, transcript management, program advising, academic course catalog, academic scheduling, transfer and test credit evaluation, student bursar, user reports, user logon, and access control. Key compliance aspects include DoD Common Access Card (CAC) integration, role-based access control, and adherence to RMF or NIST accreditation for Information Level 4 (IL4) DoD Government Community Cloud. The system should also integrate with existing AU systems like Canvas LMS. Responses are due by May 27, 2026.
