"Banner Student is our authorative data source!"
5/5
What do you like best about Ellucian Student?

Banner Student provides a comprehensive set of tools to manage all core aspects of the student lifecycle. It is our authoritative source for student data. The depth of data and functionality are outstanding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ellucian Student?

The Banner Student software can be difficult for newcomers to learn. However, those with Higher Education experience can quickly become adept because Banner Student uses concepts that are familiar to anyone in HIgher Education. Both the administrative and self-service tools have become much more usable over the last several years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good But Not Great"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Ellucian Student?

I like how banner allows several different integrations and tools for CRM. I also like how the program was pretty simple to learn. It was easy when I first started to learn Banner and catch on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ellucian Student?

I am not happy with the integration of Banner with other platforms. We have had several integration issues. We can manually update some integration that is supposed to be automation, which is good. Although, it takes more time to do manual integration when the program should integrate automatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ellucian Colleague Student leaves much to be desired."
3/5
What do you like best about Ellucian Student?

I like that Ellucian allows its users to conduct important aspects of "business"; attendance, billing, and grades are some. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Ellucian Student?

Ellucian looks like it hasn't been updated in quite some time. The software requires what feels like a password change each month, which is also frustrating though I understand the intention. It's also difficult for instructors to view a page from a student's view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
