Banner Student Information System

Banner Data and Reports

iReport

iReport will continue to be available as UCR's report distribution and storage system. There will be new repositories, categories, and reports available for iReport users. View the list of available repositories, categories, and reports in iReport. 

Student Data Query System (SDQS)

SDQS "Criteria" and "Columns" tabs will be updated to accommodate changes in Banner data but will retain all of the current functionality as a secure, intuitive web interface that provides access to a query tool enabling users to send plain text targeted email communication to students on a variety of academic information.

Cognos

UCR is using IBM Cognos to connect to the Banner Operational Data Store, which refreshes nightly. Banner ODS is data from the Banner administrative system organized into a simplified format where users can execute operational and adhoc reports. 

Access

Staff and faculty who do not have access to Banner may also request access to Cognos by submitting a Student Information System (SIS) Service Request in ServiceLink.  Check "Cognos" in the "Choose systems for access/removal from the list below" section. Access is granted based on a combination of job responsibilities, your organization, and/or your department.

View the list of categories and reports available in Cognos.
