DOHA: Community College of Qatar (CCQ) will implement Ellucian’s Banner Student solution in a strategic collaboration that emphasises sharing of local talent and resources.
Qatar’s National Vision 2030 focuses on driving positive student outcomes. By partnering with Ellucian, CCQ will restructure its student administration to run on Banner, offering programmes that accelerate student success.
Banner removes layers of anxiety and improves student success by streamlining critical administrative processes, including registration, applications and curriculum management.
With long-standing experience using Banner, CCQ and Qatar University are trained to drive learner pathways to reach the nation’s goals in human development and educational advancement.
“The college is continuing to evolve during this period of great growth in Qatar,” said Dr Nessreen Al Hashimi, Head of Institutional Effectiveness, CCQ.
“Banner Student will allow us to offer an advanced educational experience, which is a major step towards connecting and collaborating with education communities in Qatar. It helps us provide a seamless experience for the entire ecosystem. We have collaborated with Ellucian to address and develop our institution’s efficiency, and we look forward to growing our capabilities to further support the national vision and nurture the growing ambitions of a very talented Qatari student community.”
Banner Student offers students an easy to use solution that helps with admissions to registration, curriculum management, advising and assessment.
Faculty at CCQ and QU will have a more personalised connection with students, offering direct academic counsel through easy access to information and services.
“Higher education institutions today face increasing pressure while coping with advances in technology and emerging industries,” said Dr Nabil Ajineh, Chief Information Officer, CCQ.
“Ellucian’s Banner road map provides a clear direction regarding integration with learning and enterprise systems while allowing CCQ the flexibility to continue to evaluate and maintain its degree offering in alignment with existing and emerging industries’ skill sets requirements.”
Banner Student also provides CCQ students with better opportunities to advance their education in Qatar through ease of communication, learning options, pathways and curriculum with QU.
These opportunities also, in part, are afforded through collaboration with, Houston Community College. Learning pathways tend to still operate in silos with inadequate information flow and opportunity sharing between institutions.
