The University had implemented SCT Banner Finance and Human Resources some time ago, but this was the first registration as part of implementing Student and Financial Aid.
Computers are an integral and integrated part of our curricula.
Prior to implementing SCT Banner Web for Students, RPI scanned in students paper registrations and then used a batch process to assign students to sections. The method had not changed since it was implemented in the 70s. Students would not have a say as to what section they were assigned. One of the reasons RPI selected SCT Banner was because it supports the Institute s new section-based registration process. Although many students still do not get their first choice of sections, they are now able to make a choice from the available openings.
