Encompass Update, Student Information System
Resource files from Banner Discovery Capability Sessions. Share your voice about systems, processes to shape how we enhance our services.
Please see information below for an update about the implementation of Banner, the new Student Information System.
Background
In July, the university announced the implementation phase of Encompass — the initiative to modernize the campus enterprise system that houses student information, human resources, payroll and financial data — in a news release and a letter from the executive sponsors, Provost Noel Wilkin and Vice Chancellor Steven Holley. The outcomes achieved through Encompass will transform how we support the success of our students, faculty and staff.
Over the summer, teams for the Workday solution (human resources, payroll and financial) and the Banner solution (student information system and financial aid) began readiness activities and discovery sessions. More than 200 employees across campus are dedicating time to Encompass in varying capacities.
Banner SIS Current Status
Nearly 30 Capability Discovery Sessions were held over the last few weeks with various campus stakeholders. Linked here you will find descriptions, links to the videos and feedback forms for all discovery sessions.
Providing Your Input
Campus input and feedback are crucial for implementation and a key factor in successfully enhancing services. You are encouraged to watch or read the transcript of the video relevant to your area/subject matter expertise and complete the feedback form if you have additional input about current processes and systems. Please respond by Friday, Sept. 6 in order to allow time to plan and schedule any additional sessions.
