SunGard Higher Education 7.3 Upgrade

At direction of the Enterprise Business Systems Council, a
project to upgrade OASIS from its current Banner 6.2 version
to Banner 7.3 has been initiated. The upgrade will consist
of applying User Interface and Application Programming
Interface (API) enhancements, removing unused USF
modifications, where possible moving USF modifications to
baseline, upgrading Oracle reports, etc. In addition, new
baseline features to be implemented as part of the upgrade
include Common Matching and Curriculum changes, as well as
code consolidation.

Form Security
- User update capabilities can be limited to one or more
data elements on a form.
· Concurrent Curricula – Applicants can be concurrently be admitted to and enrolled in
different college majors for the same term by using the
concurrent curricula decision codes. Also, the system
will allow multiple curricula or fields of study—college,
major, concentration, and degree—to be maintained
concurrently in priority order on the student record.
The “curriculum” and “change of major” screens in OASIS will
look very different in the new version. While the new
version provides for concurrent curricula, university
admission/academic policy, procedure, and practices will remain the same,
e.g., undergraduate applications will only be considered for
a single college/major/program.
