University College Dublin

First Irish Institution to Upgrade to Banner 9

institutional profile

The University of College Dublin (UCD) is the largest University in Ireland with six colleges and thirty-seven schools offering a range of programs. The student population is over 33,000 including almost 8,000 international students based in the Dublin campus and almost 5,000 students in overseas facilities. Approximately 31% of the student body is engaged in postgraduate study and research.

Scope of Work

SIG partnered with UCD to upgrade Ellucian Banner production and non-production components to the latest available version 9.x release, and installation of related Ellucian Ethos identity.

PROJECT BACKGROUND

UCD’s ambition is to be an international leader before 2024 by making the campus a model for working in the digital age. A critical step toward enhancing the UCD community experience was the task of upgrading the Banner Student system to the latest version 9. The campus-wide initiative was no ordinary upgrade which provided the University with:

  • A fresh user experience for students, faculty, and staf
  • Access to new options in registration, communication, and grade management
  • Alignment with enterprise security policies for seamless and secure system access
