We go live for the Banner Student Self Service in the year 2007; wherein students can register for a course on-line, print their class schedule, and view Academic Transcript in-campus and off-campus for as long as they have internet connection.
Previously, PMU Admission Office used the .xml format in receiving admission applications at PMU official Website which is then integrated into MSAccess Database to filter and print the applications. Admission Department enters the applicant's information manually in Banner to create admission application. Last June 2008, PMU launches the Banner Self Service Admission wherein prospective students can submit their application on-line through Banner, and after three months of going live, PMU received almost two thousand of applications. To reduce the load of Registration Office in entering the student Final Grades and printing of class schedule, in the same year we go live for Faculty Self Service that allows Faculty and Advisors to review their class load schedule, review the class roster for the classes they are teaching and the ability to enter final grades.
Prince Mohammad Bin Fahd University (PMU) was upgraded from Banner 7.2 into Banner 7.4.1 so as to ensure the system stability, and to improve and extend its functionality. Banner 7.4.1 is integrated to Luminis Platform IV (Portal) using the single sign-on. PMU is the first university that implements Luminis Platform IV in the kingdom.
