Abstract (EN): The Bologna process has far reaching implications for European HE institutions. Two of them require a clear support from the respective IS: the European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System and the Diploma Supplement. The paper presents the steps taken by the HEIS SIGARRA at the University of Porto to implement them. They include recording the student workload estimates by the professors for each course component; recording measures of the actual time spent in each component by a sample of students; calculating percentile based classifications; and issuing diploma supplements.
