Overall Satisfaction with Ellucian Banner
Ellucian Banner is used across our whole organization for course registration, holds, degree changes, graduation, honors, financing, billing, library, course entry, and transcripts. All departments use the Ellucian Banner system to enter holds for various students: provisional students, housing, advising, probation, athletic, library, advising obligations, admission obligations, financial, and registration.
Banner allows Academic Advisors and Registrar’s Office to override prerequisite test score errors for registration purposes; furthermore, it permits departments to few and place holds on various students, or to override various holds. Several departments place holds; therefore, having the ability to view the holds, permits departments to better assist our students.
Academic Advisors use Ellucian Banner daily to ensure catalog dates are correct, advising, course overrides and create graduation entry the students major, minor, and honors. Advisors are also permitted to view transcripts and previous degrees and course work from students which is a great benefit to properly advise our students. Ellucian Banner 9 is great program to work with and screens our simple and easy to read.

- Registration: Advisors can quickly register students and override prerequisite errors.
- Record keeping: Update catalog years, change majors, and/or minors.
- Graduation entry: Process or create graduation applications.
- Holds: Permits Academic Advisors to view student holds.
- One thing I miss from the previous version of Ellucian Banner, is the control + page down. I struggle with alt + page down.
- I love the Ellucian Banner favorites; however, it is a little difficult to navigate.
- I can honestly only think of 2 things that could be improved. I use Ellucian Banner daily.
- Registration.
- Degree changes and adding/removing minors.
- Holds - placing and removing.
- Graduation entry.
- Missing requirements from Admissions.
- Ellucian Banner allows departments to have the resources needed for increased enrolment.
- Enrollment in our college is currently up; however, it is a nonprofit.
Ellucian Banner blows SIS Partner Platform and Oracle PeopleSoft
out of the water. I worked in another university prior to where I am currently
and I was trained on SIS; however, I found it to be quite difficult to navigate
and I would often have to logout and log back in because I was unable to get my
tabs to move; although, logging in was a process. Before I left the prior
institution, we began training on Oracle PeopleSoft; although, it was more user
friendly, and advisors could function with less difficulty, I still prefer the
use of Ellucian Banner 9. Ellucian Banner 9, is much easier to navigate;
therefore, I would struggle to work with anything less than Ellucian Banner 9.
