Good Morning Lisa,

 

Thank you for your email.  This change was made by our Recruiting Information Technology administrator.  The short answer to your question is that outdating the hold is a best practice in data management because instead of losing the record you preserve the data. 

 

This change is ALSO taking Orientation and Family Programs a while to get used so I understand your concern. 

 

I’ve copied Jamie Trevino on this email, she is the Director of RIS and more versed than me about the specifics of this change.  If you have any further questions please feel free to loop both Jamie and me in. 

 

Have a good day,

 

Lisa M. Alonzo

Subject: RE: [Advising] OR holds

 

Holds really need to be completely removed, not just disabled by changing the end date.  When the hold is left on, it confuses everyone who looks at the record.

 

When Banner was started, I went through this, as I worked in the Registrar’s office at that time. 

 

Does this same someone time?  Or money?  What’s the justification?

Good afternoon.  Orientation and Family Programs will no longer be removing the OR (Orientation) holds in Banner after a student completes orientation, they will only be changing the end date on the hold.  An example is below.  This is something completely different from what they have done in the past.  I’m told the reasoning is to keep a record of the hold.  We will have to make sure to look at the end date on these holds to see if they are active or not.
