WHAT
WE DO
The Student Information Technology
Services (SITS) within SFAS supports Yale staff who require
access to student data. Banner is the database that is used
for student records, course data, academic history and all
admissions data. Most data is entered using Banner forms.
Data can be retrieved into a variety of formats using BrioQuery
tools (BrioQuery 9) and Oracle report software.
Banner Training
Two types of Banner training are available.
A two-hour introductory class, Banner Basics and Name
Searching, covers navigating Banner forms and how
to search for names in a Banner database. NOTE:
This class is required if you will be creating SPRIDEN (person)
records.
More individualized training and documentation is available
for specific Banner departmental requirements, such as using
Admissions forms.

Room Scheduling/Resource25
Resource25 (R25) is the room scheduling
system that interfaces with our Banner database. All course
room assignments made in Banner are downloaded into Resource
25 each term.
Resource25 is also being used for non-academic
classroom scheduling (e.g. film showings or student meetings).
Using Resource 25 requires a Banner ID
and password, plus R25 access. Terminal server access is also
required if you are using Spedbook. Click
here for documentation on accessing the terminal
server.
ACCESSING
STUDENT INFORMATION
Student and applicant data is maintained
in Banner for Yale College and the Graduate and Professional
Schools. All access to student and applicant data is restricted
and follows the guidelines of the Buckley Amendment, which
guides the University's policy on the rights of students regarding
their educational records. Any staff member who requests Banner
access must sign an Acceptance of Responsibility Regarding
Confidentiality as part of the Banner access request paperwork.
Forms are available below.
Anyone accessing data must be familiar
with FERPA and all policies governing student data access.
