The school discovered a way out when it installed an SCT Banner integrated relational database system. Now students can pick and choose from all the courses offered at the school, and the new process of registration has enabled the school to cut red tape and dramatically streamline its operations. The SCT Banner system has 350 registered users and can handle virtually the school s entire registration.
Students find it far more convenient and flexible.
They can take exactly the courses they want and it s far easier for them to register. There s no time lag between the moment when they decide what to take, when they sign up and when they are informed how much it will cost. Faculty prefer it because they know, in real time, who is signed up and how many will be enrolled in a particular class. It s easier to make changes to previous enrollment decisions. The database is sortable by various fields, offering everyone much easier access to exactly the information needed.
