What's Going On Now

• Students Test New Banner Registration

  

  Students tested the new Banner registration system.

  Over 80 College of Charleston students logged on through MyCharleston to try out the new Banner registration system Wednesday, Jan. 20 and Thursday, Jan. 21. In the process, they checked their academic profiles, explored the new registration tools and “registered” for their fall 2010 classes.

  “Overall, they liked it,” said Registrar Cathy Boyd. “They identified some of the problems, but in the end, they said they think it’s easy to use and they like the features.”

  Boyd said they were pleased with the response. Students filled out two different forms. One asked that students list the problems they encounter along the way. The other was a complete evaluation – what they liked, suggestions for improvement. Students spent a lot of time answering all the questions. Some even used the back of the paper to finish their evaluations.

  “The next step is to try to fix what problems we can before we go live next month. Other problems will have to be addressed in phase II because they involve delivered SSB functionality, ” Boyd said. “This was a great test of the system. The students provided us with a lot of very valuable information.”
