Ellucian Banner is an administrative software application developed specifically for higher education institutions. It is the world’s leading higher education enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. It is designed to simplify everyday processes so we can offer students, faculty, and staff the support they need to succeed.
Banner is an on-premise solution that contains several modules such as student, financial aid, accounts receivable, general, security, and administration. Banner is used in almost all areas of Tulane, such as admissions, registrar, academic history, degree data, commencement, financial aid, accounts receivable, document management, and others. It also houses all the data for these functions as well as storing important documents. Banner is integrated with a plethora of other applications across the campus, including HR. Banner is heavily integrated into Gibson as well since Banner security roles and data drive many of the features found there. Gibson also utilizes Banner's self service modules to display data for students and advisors.
