You may remember receiving an email from Carlos Garcia and Dean Hoynes at the beginning of September describing a project to conduct a Readiness and Requirements review of our Student Information System.

To summarize, this review includes all processes related to the student records life cycle, from admittance to graduation. One goal of the review is to solicit broad input from throughout the college regarding how processes related to that life cycle work today, how they will need to work going forward, and what is most important to individuals in managing potential system or process changes that we may undertake in the future.

As the Fall Semester gets underway, we are writing to inform you about a project that will take place throughout this semester.  No action is required at this time.

CIS and the Dean of Faculty Office are collaborating on a project to conduct a Readiness and Requirements review of Vassar’s Student Information System (“SIS”).  We most commonly refer to our SIS as Banner, but it also includes other systems (e.g. Slate, PowerFAIDS, and Residence).  Our SIS supports all aspects of a student’s educational experience–from registration to graduation–and includes demographic data and information related to scheduling, conduct, health, billing, grades, and academic programs.
