UNC System State Grant Interface
This session will provide an overview and demonstration of the UNC System State Grant Interface. This customized interface supports state grant processing between the NC State Grants Portal and Banner Financial Aid. The interface automates grant processing by providing the ability to:
• Upload a grant file and store the data within the Banner database
• Match the uploaded records with existing data within the administrative system
• Perform edit checks on the data for continued eligibility
• Provide a means to review failed edit checks and the ability to rerun the edit checks and update the student's status
• Post potential awards
• Send term certification files
• Identify discrepancies between the NC State Grants Portal award amounts and the amounts either accepted or paid in Banner
• Produce an enrollment file containing information on FAFSA filers who are enrolled for a specific term
• Securely transmit files via SFTP

Join us to learn how your state may consider automating state grant processing, or come for a refresher if you are a UNC System school.

Baseline: To Mod, or Not to Mod, that is the Question
As schools continue to need to do more with less, this interactive session will provide an opportunity for schools to share experiences with both Banner baseline and modifications. The inspiration for the session is based on Virginia Tech (a historically modification-heavy school) as we currently are reviewing processes to return to baseline functionality, when possible and appropriate to do so. Presenter will lead the discussion based on experiences of working for 8 years at a primarily baseline institution followed by working at a school in a transition period related to modifications. Specific focus will be on academic scheduling/registration but general topics will be also discussed. Please bring your baseline and modification successes and lessons learned. Together, hopefully we can provide inspiration as to when and why modifications have worked or not worked as solutions to problems we face in the Banner Student functional world.

Using Algorithmic Packaging Rules for Scholarships To Recruit New Students
Two years ago, the Office of Financial Aid at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte was asked to award two funds; an institutional grant and a scholarship to more than 2,000 students during a relatively busy processing period. The fund amounts were to be offered based on EFC ranges and a Financial Aid Index assigned by the Undergraduate Admissions office and would have relied on tedious, time-consuming manual work. To automate the awarding, the Office of Financial Aid utilized algorithmic rules to calculate, allocate, and award the two funds. The goal of this presentation is to show how to setup a relatively simple process that uses a combination of awarding rules and algorithmic packaging rules. We will show how to set this up in Banner with code examples for rules, Banner forms that need to be populated, and how we tested.

Technology in Higher Education
The underutilization of Technology in Higher Education is often ignored. There is a reluctance to move from long-standing manual practices and legacy infrastructure. The mantra “this is the way we’ve always done it” continues to drive inefficiencies.
Institutional decision makers and consumers of technologies struggle with pre- and post- implementation challenges. Reluctance to change, lack of analytical insight, lack of on-going training and poor reporting capabilities result in the dependence on inefficiencies and lack of adoption of the advancement of technology solutions.
Business goals / business practices must be considered to help drive better utilization of technology for institutional success in support of students. As institutional policies evolve, processes need periodic reviews to replace the outdated mantra.
Interestingly technology solutions requires the most hard dollar costs, and returns the least in terms of ROI if the people (decision makers) and the processes are not positioned productively. The real value in technology solutions is the ‘people’ to justify the long-term financial investment.
This “Triad” – people, process, technology – can make or break institutional effectiveness, employee morale, student satisfaction, state and federal funding and, most importantly, effective leadership decision making. It is time to realize that technology is not to blame.

UNC Online - A System Wide Inter-Institutional Course Registration Application
UNC Online allows students at any of the UNC System institutions to register online at other UNC institutions via a custom web application that does not require the student to be admitted by the HOST institution Banner system nor have an existing ID there. Web Services use a variety of custom PL/SQL packages that leverage baseline Banner APIs to automatically create the student ID, application, learner record and course registration in the HOST Banner system.  A placeholder registration is also created at the student's HOME Banner system and when the course is graded at the HOST institution, it is brought back into the HOME system as transfer credit. This presentation will provide a broad technical overview of how all of this is accomplished
