D. Financial Aid
a. Update on FA training.
i. Chris attended the AR training with
discussion on contracts and exemptions.
The FA team will continue to determine
what process will work best for them.
The Banner consultants lean towards
using exemptions as it makes the
system do the work for you. However,
the exemptions in Banner do not allow
you to attach criteria which are a key
factor in many of exemptions.
ii. Chris asked Sherry to put a meeting
together to discuss exemptions and
scholarships.
a. The Office of Financial Assistance (FA) is
proposing a change to our Satisfactory
Academic Progress policy (SAP) to
accommodate the Banner software system’s
ability to perform SAP automatically rather
than manually – This is still on hold.
iii. Chris and her team are still reviewing the
SAP policy to determine how to address
this in Banner.

development.

F. Account Receivable
a. Update on FI training
i. Due to on site consulting, A/R will not be
there. I would like to report the
following:
ii. The consulting is going great. We are
still working through and testing the
detail codes and trying to determine the
best fit for the University. These codes
will continue to evolve.
iii. We had another lengthy discussion
regarding Contracts and Exemptions.
Financial Aid is still trying to determine
what will work best for them. The
consultants all lean towards using
Exemptions as it makes the system do
the work for you which we like.
However, the Exemptions in Banner do
not allow you to attach criteria which
are a key factor in many of our
exemptions.
iv. Contracts within Banner are a great way
to bill third party vendors (such as
OHLAP) for student charges. But
because of some of our unique things at
Cameron, it will present a few
challenges that we are working
through. And then there is the day old
question of which comes first…the

iii. SSB Registration PIN update. A
conference call from Jamestown
Community College revealed the
possibility of using their source code to
solve the problem of advisors needing
the student’s PIN to enroll them. We
will be able to write a "Master Key"
web page that enters the student's PIN
for the advisor. That way, nobody has
to see the student's PIN. Julie Duncan
is working on this. I.T. will try to have
this completed by CRP.

SGHE to bring over Student Admission
history for Conv2 and Conv3.

I. Luminis
a. Luminis Team update
i. Jamie and her team are preparing for
Content Planning sessions next week.
The team discussed how to handle help desk support for go
live dates. It was suggested we have a designed person for
each building. Aubree agreed to take care of the academic
area. More discussion on this topic next week.
We have a budget to send some individuals to Summit, but it
is much smaller than last year. If the average cost is about
$2,200 for each person then we will be able to send 6 or 7
people.
A plan for end-user training is due for review by the end of
August which needs to include who will be training on what,
dates for training and what documents will be used.
There is a Banner table that audits all logon/logoff activity in
INB which will help functional leads to know who is logging
into Banner TEST instance. It will be delivered to the
functional leads and Executive sponsors Wednesday
mornings.
A. GPA ST modifications to Banner. It was reported that this
issue is being addressed at the OSRHE level.
A. Review paper or electronic forms you are currently using,
i.e., do they need to be discarded, edited, reprinted, etc.
B. List of prioritized workflows need to be sent to Debbie by
the end of July
Reminder to HR, FI, AD, LP and the rest of ST need to get

Recommendation: each team lead will
communicate to end users the proper way to log off
of Banner test account so the Banner Audit report
will reflect the exact time spent in Banner.
