WHAT WE DO

Student Information Services (SIS) 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. Click here to request Banner training.

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 Speedbook. 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.
