Banner software implementation problems cause havoc at UH-Manoa

Hawai’i: It hasn’t been a great week for stu­dents at UH-Manoa. Park­ing is a night­mare as usual. The university’s imple­men­ta­tion of its Ban­ner reg­is­tra­tion soft­ware had some gaps, includ­ing a fea­ture that would have allowed UH admin­is­tra­tors to see how manys tudents were on the wait-list for each class. As a result of this and an unex­pected surge in enroll­ment, sev­eral hun­dred UH stu­dents have been unable to enrolll for the classes they need. Thirty new classes were added on Mon­day, but some classes have many more stu­dents than the rec­om­mended max­i­mum. It reminds me of my col­lege days, when stu­dents were lurk­ing out­side offices and class­rooms, hop­ing that another stu­dent had dropped the course. This will cause prob­lems with the teach­ers union.

At least the foot­ball sea­son opens 11 days, although the War­riors may have trou­ble beat­ing Florida Atlantic.
