Student Information Team Goes into ACTION!
Implementation of the Student module of the Banner system is officially underway! More than thirty members of the Student Information team gathered for an overview of general student information goals and objectives, with an emphasis on learning the skills needed to implement the Banner student information module that the TIGERi project will be using. Learning the skills needed to utilize Banner is essential to ensure the student information module will run smoothly so students will be able to have critical information at their finger tips and be able to pay fees through Banner Self Service. Faculty will also enjoy new services including the ability to advise students using an online degree audit system.
The TIGERi student information team has also been reviewing current business practices with an eye toward making day-to-day operations work more efficiently and effectively within Banner. TIGERi’s integrated technology gives us the opportunity to evaluate our business processes, updating inefficient or outdated practices to improve services for students, faculty and staff. Improving business practices and processes is an important task for all TIGERi Teams.
The student information module will be placed into operation in phases, beginning with Admissions in September 2009 and Registration in March 2010 for the Fall 2010 semester. The degree audit implementation will follow.
Subsequent student information training sessions are many and include the following functions:
- Applying to ISU
- Admissions processing
- Registering for classes
- Student class fee processing
- Advising resources
- University catalogs
- Scheduling and rooming of courses
- Grade reporting
- Enrollment reporting
- Academic history (transcripts)
