  Todays students are encouraged to study and develop expertise in more than
one national academic environment. As a matter of fact, their educational
activities inevitably occur in a variety of academic settings and even span
several years. Consequently students academic results and progress are expected
to be easily monitored and accessed nationally. The authors of the present
paper have devised a student gradebook information network to be nationally
employed by all public and private universities and colleges. The papers deals
with the architectural principles underlying the system and discusses aspects
related to data collection, data analysis and data storage across multiple
machines while providing a seamless view of entire infrastructure and service
delivery system from a single Web access point. The utility of the
architectural system is discussed in relationship with its major advantages:
user-friendliness, security access, flexibility, transparency, distributional
power, and scalability. The major beneficiary of the system is the Romanian
higher education system.
