"The outbreak of the coronavirus and subsequent shut down of the campus would previously have meant learning would have ground to a halt. With the Banner system, we were ready. We had the software, infrastructure and technology to continue to deliver learning remotely."

"Administrative staff appreciates that the Ethos connection allows our student course evaluation software, SmartEvals, to be virtually hands-off. The Ethos upload automatically keeps the rosters, sections, and faculty information up-to-date. All that's left is for the system to send out the evaluations to the correct students on the preset days."

"That's what we're most excited about, Students can click on the task, the task opens, they do the task, and they never have to leave Experience."

“Students tell us they love the new search features. They love that they can build a plan and then register from that plan. They loved the options; they loved the layout.”

“We’re evaluating the possibility of implementing a number of other Banner systems to further improve our efficiency and service levels, because we now see the value in such investments. Now that the system is unified, it will be far easier to implement further technologies.”

"The partnership with Ellucian surpassed my expectations. I've implemented numerous systems in my career, and Ellucian SIS was one of the smoothest. I attribute that to working through the challenges as a team. Seeing the student system come to life has been especially exciting—it's incredible to know that this implementation …

"Before we had Elevate, we didn’t know what our total enrollment was on a year-by-year basis and now our goal is to offer more classes, and with Elevate we can. I know we’ve already seen a significant uptick in enrollment because it’s so easy for students to enroll and pay."

"It’s essential to have a degree audit program like this. There’s just too much room for error without it."
