Probably a transfer, but lol at professional engineering team. Zero chance. The resignation system is probably outsourced to at best some edu-tech company and at worst is basically the most cursed Sharepoint site that's ever existed.
It’s all in house, UW IT has multiple floors in a 20+ floor building, literally the tallest until very recently in the UW neighborhood.
The registration system is probably mostly still the original 90s code though, it’s very basic, totally custom.
UW CSE actually had its own tech support team, completely separate from UW IT, who also write internal software/manage the computing systems just for CSE. At least, that used to be the case.
I’m an academic and my institution does all such things in house with a real engineering team in the IT department- as well as a UI and visual design team. PIs can also pay them to develop sites for their own labs, etc. This is pretty standard across half a dozen universities I've worked at.
