What Data is Where and What is Official

Overview

First a few general points:

  1. Nothing is being deleted from Banner
  2. Banner is still the system of record for any data relating to academic work for any former, current, or future student or faculty member
  3. Raiser's Edge (RE) will be the system of record for gifts and donor activities
  4. RE will be the "system of relationship" for donors, parents, and alumni.  That will entail (at least) current contact information as well as records of conversations with alumni, donors and parents.

That said, all of these things will remain in Banner for anyone who was, is, or will be a student:

  1. The unchangeable bio information (birth date, gender, ethnicity, etc.) 
  2. Test scores 
  3. Academic information (majors, degrees, classes etc.)
  4. Any contact information collected while a prospect or student
  5. Names
  6. Anything in Detailed Student Info except the "will get stale" items

These things will continue to be maintained and updated in Banner

  1. Any academic information for a person who becomes a student or continues as a student (takes classes, applies to another program, etc.) 
  2. Information regarding post-student awards, certifications, etc. that relate to the students academic record or achievements, e.g. icensure information.

This information will begin to get unreliable in Banner as "life happens" for former students.  Very little will change in any given time, but there won't be a way to determine if the Banner record is current.

  1. Name changes
  2. Status changes, e.g. marital
  3. Contact info (address, phone, email)
