alternator issues?

hey guys, I have a short story today. I was going to work at 7am and while on the offramp turning right the car stalls and refuses to start. luckily, a stranger walking down the street helped me push it into the closest parking lot. so now I look at the instrument cluster for a sign. right before the car quietly died, I saw the srs light come on and then the abs light. when trying to start the car it would do a half ass crank and die again. I thought, it couldn't be charging system because the battery sign on the dash is not illuminated.
I tried a jump start and the car started. not wanting to chance death on the freeway, I got it towed. I jumped it to get it up the driveway and she made it but died where she sits now. after charging, the battery voltage was 13.08 when the car started and stayed at around 12.9 with the motor running. am I right in diagnosing this as a failed alternator? I have not looked at prices yet but the one for the 944 cost a leg, both legs. any help on diagnosis or money saving will be appreciated. thanks for reading my story.
