This policy pertains to e-learning sections created by integration with Sungard Banner that reside in the Bb Vista Division named Banner Integrated Courses. These are for-credit academic courses. Other special purpose sections found in Non-credit Courses and Tutorials and University Communities are not covered by this policy.
Banner sections will be deleted two years after a section has been offered. For example, Fall 2007 sections will be deleted during the break period before Spring 2009 term. Only the E-learning Administrator can delete sections.
Faculty will be given 12 to 16 weeks notice that sections will be deleted from the system to give them time to download any material necessary for archival purposes.
Faculty can request that a section not be deleted. This request will be granted or denied by the E-learning administrator.
Faculty are responsible for downloading and archiving any student material they need to keep for grade challenges, etc.
Before sections are deleted for Fall and Spring, the test environment will be updated with the production database. This provides a short window of opportunity to recover deleted sections if needed.
Unused sections will be deleted at the end of the term.
