Updates regarding Banner implementation.
Banner and Bear Cub Updates
| Banner Training Needs | Please take a moment to let us know about any Banner training needs or information gaps by completing this questionnaire. |
| Banner Scheduling Progress | The Scheduling Team is actively entering data into the new Banner system, with a current focus on Fall 2026 proofs and cleaning up Summer 2026 semester data. The anticipated completion date for Fall 2026 proofs is May 7, 2026. |
| Faculty Instructional Load | Faculty instructional load is not currently accessible in Banner. Faculty will be able to look up instructional load in SIS. The Scheduling Team will continue to maintain both systems to ensure no lapse in access. |
| Canvas: Integration with Banner | Banner integration with Canvas will go live the week of June 1. At that time, all changes to Summer courses and enrollments should automatically be reflected within Canvas. |
| Canvas: Sandboxes for Course Development | If faculty need to begin working on their Canvas course content before June 1, and do not have an available Sandbox to use for that purpose, please submit the Canvas course development sandbox request form. This would allow an instructor to create content early and then copy that content into the course once it becomes available. This guide will walk you through the import process. |
| Canvas: Early-Start Summer Courses | If your course starts before June 1 and you'll be using Canvas, please submit this form to Distance Education: SRJC Canvas - Summer 2026 Early-Start Course Request. Please note that enrollments in these Canvas courses will be static until Canvas is connected to Banner the week of June 1. |
| Course Outlines of Record | Course Outlines of Record will remain available in SIS until the 2026–2027 catalog is published using CourseLeaf CAT. Publication is anticipated in July 2026 |
| Canvas: Student Access to Courses | Students gain access to Canvas once they are officially enrolled in the course. Students on the waitlist are not (and cannot be) added to the Canvas course due to FERPA regulations. |
| Restricted Classes | For restricted classes, permit overrides must be completed individually. Batch enrollment is not available. |
| Class End Times | Class end times in Banner will reflect the close of instruction before the passing period, rather than the end of the full-time block. See the Chancellor’s Office ADA contact hour computation guide for more details. |
| Proof Reports | The college is working with IT to develop new Proof reports that mirror the existing format. In the meantime, a preliminary Summer 2026 “First Glance” data table has been distributed to faculty for initial review. Please reach out if you did not receive it or if you have questions. |
| Attendance Accounting Method | Beginning with the Summer 2026 schedule, SRJC will transition to the Standardized Attendance Accounting Method for credit courses. Most credit classes will no longer require tracking positive attendance hours, and funding will remain the same regardless of how classes are scheduled. |
| Bear Cub Hub Role Access | Academic deans, directors, and administrative assistants should verify in Bear Cub Hub support resources that their indicated access level is “Advisor” so they can view the appropriate information. |
| CourseLeaf CIM Launch | The launch of CourseLeaf CIM has been delayed until July 2026. As a result, the curriculum freeze will remain in place until then. Thank you for your patience |
