The increasing reliance on digital platforms in higher education necessitates the evaluation of system usability to ensure effective user interaction and satisfaction. This study aims to evaluate the usability of the Academic Information System (AIS) at [University Name] using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method. SUS is a reliable, standardized tool for measuring the usability of interactive systems, providing a quick and quantitative assessment. Data were collected from a sample of 100 students and academic staff who frequently use the AIS for various academic activities, including course registration, grade checking, and academic planning. The results of the SUS analysis yielded an average score of 72.5, indicating that the system falls within the “Good” usability category. However, several usability issues were identified, such as navigation complexity and visual layout inconsistencies, which slightly reduced user satisfaction. These findings highlight the importance of continuous usability testing and user-centered design in the development of academic systems. The study recommends specific design improvements to enhance user experience and system performance. Overall, the SUS method proved effective in identifying usability strengths and weaknesses, offering valuable insights for future system optimization.
