CampusCore v1.0.0: Building an Open-Source Student Management System

Description and use

CampusCore v1.0.0 is an open‑source student management system that consolidates student records, attendance, grading, and administrative tools into a single self‑hosted platform.

Problem

Academic institutions require integrated systems for student records, attendance, grading, staff workflows, and administrative tools, yet many solutions are fragmented or proprietary.

Outcome

CampusCore v1.0.0 provides a stable, modular, and extensible platform that unifies core academic operations, enabling institutions to self‑host and customize their student management workflows.

Workflow

• 1. Deploy PostgreSQL and configure connection string
• 2. Run the API executable for the target OS (Windows, Linux, macOS)
• 3. Serve the React/TypeScript web bundle or install the PWA
• 4. Use bulk‑import validation to load existing data
• 5. Manage students, classes, attendance, and grades through the UI
• 6. Generate report cards and export data
• 7. Monitor audit history and dashboard metrics

Evidence

CampusCore is an MIT‑licensed, open‑source student and academic management system.
