Introduction

Banner® is an integrated system that is used college-wide, so it is extremely important that offices and departments comply with these standards in entering data into the system. This is to avoid duplication of records, to simplify searches, and to ensure an attractive, professional appearance when data are displayed in reports.

 

The Coordinating Committee was formed to develop standards and make decisions regarding the maintenance of data in the system. This committee is composed of representatives from offices that have responsibility to enter and maintain records in Banner. They are responsible for granting access privileges to others to view, enter, update and generate reports from Banner.

 

If you have any questions regarding the use or update of these Standards please contact any member of the Coordinating Committee - Registrar, Directors of Finance, Financial Aid, Human Resources, Alumnae, Development or Computer Services. When in doubt, always refer to this manual, not co-workers, before entering or altering any record. Still in doubt? Call the appropriate member of the Coordinating Committee.
