What is Banner? why do I care?
BANNER is the new administrative software that maintains student, financial and personnel data. The impact of Banner will result in three important changes beginning Fall 2008:
(1) Course rosters will now be obtained online from Banner (or Blackboard Vista) . The old system SIS will no longer exist.
(2) Final course grades will now be submitted online via Banner (or Blackboard Vista) . The old green sheets will no longer exist.
(3) Plus or minus grades are now possible .
(a) All 100 and 200 level courses are required to give final grades that may include +/- grades (where necessary).(b) For all single-section courses above 300, giving final grades that may include +/- (where necessary) is strongly recommended.
(c) All multi-section courses above 300 are required to have a consistent policy regarding the giving or not giving +/- final grades (where necessary).
Reminders:
# You must use your Purdue Career Account, not your Math account.# You must be FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) certified in order to access BANNER (or Blackboard Vista). Certification information is available at: FERPA Certification
# Be aware that you will have access to student data, most of which you don’t need. Privacy and security should be maintained when accessing student records.
