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 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.

Faculty do not need to wait until June 1 to begin course preparation. You may create a sandbox in Canvas for each course and later roll content into the official Canvas shell. If you need help, use the Distance Education help page or submit the Canvas course development sandbox request form

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.

For restricted classes, permit overrides must be completed individually. Batch enrollment is not available.

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.

Students gain access to Canvas once they are officially enrolled in the course. Students on the waitlist are not added to the Canvas course in Banner due to FERPA regulations

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.

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.

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

This questionnaire is intended to help inform emergent training needs and gaps.

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

Use the Bear Cub Hub help, guides, and videos page as the primary starting point.

Bear Cub Hub replaces SIS. Faculty should become familiar with the Bear Cub Hub portal, especially the Faculty Self-Service card. Review the Faculty Self-Service Quick Guide.

Canvas Sandboxes: 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 for 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.

Low-lift preparation steps include reviewing Bear Cub Hub resources, becoming familiar with Faculty Self-Service, and keeping registration support information handy for student questions

• Students should activate their Bear Cub email for access using the Bear Cub email activation page and the Bear Cub email video guide.
• Students log in through the Bear Cub Hub portal.
• Students locate their Time Ticket in Student Profile and must wait until their assigned registration time to register.
• Students may search classes using the Class Search tool. Searching by CRN, or Course Reference Number, is the most efficient method.

Expect student questions during the first week of the term. Keep Add Code and waitlist resources available

If students cannot register because of prerequisites, please direct them to Counseling using the current college process.
