        abstract = {This paper proposes DUERP, a Decentralized University Enterprise Resource Planning system that brings blockchain capabilities to university administration and campus- wide ERP modules. DUERP integrates (a) core university work- flows — admissions, fee management, exam administration, student records, and academic certification — with (b) an enterprise-grade, multi-module blockchain-backed ERP architec- ture enabling immutability, transparency, decentralized identity, and programmable automation through smart contracts. DUERP synthesizes prior work on blockchain-based ERP architectures and academic-certificate frameworks and describes a permis- sioned architecture (based on Hyperledger Fabric principles) that balances performance, privacy, and governance for consortia of universities, accreditation bodies and employers. Performance and security trade-offs, governance model, sample smart con- tract interfaces, and deployment considerations are discussed. Evidence and design choices are motivated by existing research on blockchain-ERP integration and Hyperledger-based academic certificate systems.},
