Banner 8.2 Upgrade
Implementation of a major upgrade to LCC's Banner system is planned for the weekend of March 5, 2010. This upgrade is mandatory given that the vendor, SunGard Higher Education, will be discontinuing support of LCC's current version in early 2011. The new release addresses a number of bugs in the current version, includes new features and functionality, and improves data navigation capabilities. Although some of the new capabilities may not be enabled immediately following the upgrade, LCC will be positioned to turn these enhancements on when the functional areas are ready to do so. A Banner Upgrade Team, made up of cross-functional users, is testing the new version and working with each functional area to determine training needs. Banner documentation and training classes for employees and students will be updated to reflect the system changes resulting from the upgrade.
