  10. What’s new in Banner? BANNER has several improvements over SIS. Some of them are: • SIS required an emulator (Smart Term) to run, where as BANNER is Internet Native and does not require any additional software. • We used to have max. of 7 pre-requisites in SIS for any course, where as in BANNER we do not have any limit. • Better control over course registration restrictions according to College/Level/Class/Major. • In SIS, there is no co-requisites restriction, where as in BANNER we can enforce the restrictions. • In SIS (degree audit), the maximum number of electives / free-electives is 80, where as in BANNER CAPP (Curriculum Advising & Program Planning) there is no limit.

  11. What’s new in BANNER Web? (1/3) • Faculty Web will be accessed through KFUPM portal via Single Sign-On. • At present, most of the information seen by the faculty is through RegWeb, where as in BANNER information will be seen directly from the system. • In BANNER, Faculty can add/maintain detailed personal information • Advisors can view additional Advisee information such as Registration history, holds, etc…. • Faculty can send email to individual / all students in his class.

  12. What’s new in BANNER Web? (2/3) • Advisors can send email to individual / all advisees. • Presently, faculty can view his teaching schedule, where as in BANNER he can view detailed/graphical weekly teaching schedule. • Faculty can search dynamic class schedules/course catalogs. • In BANNER, faculty can update the Syllabus Information • Faculty can add/maintain office hours through web.

  13. What’s new in BANNER Web ? (3/3) • Student Web will be accessed through KFUPM portal via Single Sign-On (Using kfupm email user name and its password) • In BANNER, Student can add/maintain more personal information • Presently, Student can view his class schedule, where as in BANNER he can view detailed/graphical weekly class schedule. • Student can search dynamic class schedules/course catalogs.

  18. Challenges & Difficulties • Launching of Banner Student System is linked with the readiness of Satellite systems • Access to Banner Web by Students & Faculty thru KFUPM Portal needs their KFUPM emails to be received & loaded in Banner • Unavailability of Sungard Consultants when needed • Change of Sungard Consultants resulted in different opinions by them on Banner Issues • Lack of Technical support to resolve various issues related to Banner which needs immediate actions • Engagement of some team members in other teams • Enormous implementation activities being undertaken by Registration team requiring lots of time and efforts • Involvement of team members in Banner activities as well as routine office work puts additional pressure on them
