A student applies online for a master’s program. Their data is captured in SAP SLCM. Upon acceptance (PIQAUD), they are enrolled in the program (PIQST00). They register for courses each semester (PIQSMATRIC), and faculty enter grades via PIQEXRESULT. Tuition invoices are generated automatically and paid through the portal. Upon graduation, a transcript is issued (PIQGRADTRANS) and the student record is archived.
