Princess Nora bint Abdul Rahman University (PNU) has implemented Banner by Ellucian, creating a digital environment that is helping connect the campus community and enable collaboration among students, faculty, and staff.

Additional solutions from Ellucian are helping the university use data more effectively to achieve its vision and goals.

Huda Mohammad Al-Ameel, rector of Princess Nora bint Abdul Rahman University, said: “Having created the world’s largest women-only university at PNU, our ambition is to become a globally recognized first rate institution, and we are engaging leading technology solution providers such as Ellucian to help us achieve our goals.”

Banner is providing PNU with a self-service online environment that facilitates interaction among PNU’s constituents and helps provide higher levels of efficiency, service delivery, and education experiences.

In September, PNU successfully completed online registration for over 40,000 students using Banner.

Also, students can search and register for classes by term or date, as well as retrieve relevant data online.

Faculty members can easily manage course information, rosters, and grading, as well as advise students from remote locations.

Saudi Business Machines (SBM) acted as the system integrator for the project.

In addition to Banner Student, PNU implemented Banner Financial Aid, Banner Operational Data Store, and Banner Enterprise Data Warehouse to help manage scholarship processes more efficiently, quickly, and equitably, and use data more effectively to help achieve its mission of preparing students with the intellectual and professional skills needed to respond with distinction to the needs of the region, nation, and the world. With enhanced analytical capabilities, PNU is meeting reporting requirements in Arabic and English.

“Princess Nora University has an essential mission in educating and empowering Saudi women to engage in the socio-economic advancement of the country, and Ellucian is delighted to be part of this important initiative,” said Mathew Boice, VP, EMEA & India, Ellucian.
