BaSIS (BAsic Skills Information System) is an Access Database that  keeps track of students' information and registers them to their classes. ABE department didn't have a way to organize all of their student/teacher/class data and keep track of who is registered where. Using Excel and Access, we were able to develop a system that simplified registration process as well as made it easy to keep track of who is registered where.
