N2N tie in
• UIW requires students to meet with advisors, obtain
Alternate PIN before registration; this ensures they
have working relationship
• Alt PIN is ultimately retention tool; UIW’s just below
national average (~77 percent*), but improving
• Also requires Financial Responsibility Agreement
• Both needed to be included in workflow

Results/Challenges
• The registrar module was “soft launched” in
early November, 2016; module main page has
had 4,138 page views, as of 03/29.
• Challenge: testing plan. Since Enterprise Apps
would not allow test accounts in Banner
production, student team was assembled. Every
time there was a change required, a new round
of testing was conducted…
