For registration, advisors are able to register students without difficulty of any prerequisite errors.
For data entry, many departments are able to enter all necessary information with ease.
For financial aid, the process of awarding students is streamlined and easy to utilize.
I use Ellucian Banner on a daily basis, as I utilize the system for most of my data entry in the Financial Aid office. One of items I dislike is probably that it times out every 30 minutes or so. Also, maybe on some screens, am unable to use the F6 to insert a new line. Other than that, it’s a great system.
Make sure that Ellucian Banner is a system that will work for your organization and it is able to be used across other systems.
The use of Ellucian Banner helps my department award students with their financial aid as per Federal regulations. Also allows us to make sure students are receiving eligible aid based on their academic requirements.
Ellucian provides a very robust product that is customizable.
In my opinion, Ellucian products have a large learning curve, although recent upgrades are starting to correct that.
As mentioned, this is a a very robust product that really stands in the gaps.
Streamlined features that help improve classroom flow.
When we initially where doing trial ones during summer 2 sessions there was a lot of lag and malware issues. They've since been fixed and addressed I might add.
Just do it, make the switch
A better digital classroom structure, that can handle the day to day of an entire campus worth of use.
I believe that every institution has had some type of learning curve or hiccups with the forced virtual learning of 2020. And SHSU was no exception in our use of "Blackboard "
Many community colleges use Ellucian Banner for their Student Information System, which means we can access support easily. For the purposes of student records, Ellucian does a good job.
There is a learning curve for new users of Ellucian Banner. Once you learn how to use it, however, it's not hard. There are limitations when it comes to Ellucian communicating data with other software platforms.
We keep all our student records in Ellucian, so it is a data solution. The fact that it is cloud-based is a huge benefit, that enables us to connect to Ellucian through remote access.

I most like how easy it is for me to check grades on SIS, along with seeing how far along I am in my degree and distributional requirements. The ability for me to see my progress is just great!
I strongly dislike the UI. It seems like a lot of parts of SIS are redundant, and it seems super outdated, as if the platform was built for an interface from 2005.
Make sure that you're comfortable with the UI of the product!
I am able to see important things like grades, progress in my major, the distributional requirements I still need to fill, see my financial aid, order caps and gowns, just a lot of things that involve moving around student data.
