From the Provost...

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, along with The University of Tennessee Health Science Center and the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, is beginning implementation of a new student information system.  Collegiate Project Services has been engaged to help us plan and manage the implementation project, and SunGard is our software vendor.  We will implement the Banner student and financial aid programs. These efforts can help us to improve teaching, learning, and the student experience at UTC by building a services-oriented system that offers enhanced service and reliability to our students, faculty and staff.  This system will allow us to compete more effectively for faculty and students and to apply technology to better manage and operate the University.  We will be able to use on-demand access to information and services to meet the needs of all, and offer new services we are currently unable to support.     This project will require the effort, ingenuity and commitment of a large number of groups throughout the university, and it has my full support.  I urge you to participate with us in this important project in any way you can.  Thank you for your commitment to this important endeavor. Phil Oldham Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs
