ARS Student Reports

  • Banner Section Assignments
    The section assignment reports provide information on assigned instructors in the Banner database. Sections are listed by term and department and include the name of the instructor and the number of registrations as of the date of the report. Reports can be printed or downloaded to an excel spreadsheet. You can select all sections or only the gradable sections for a term. The section assignment reports are updated three times a week.
  • Student Count By Program
    This report provides a count of students by level and by program code within a designated term and department. The report counts active students who are enrolled for the term, as well as any students who withdraw after the 10th day of the term. Student counts for this report are updated once a week and final counts for a term are maintained after the end of the semester.

Data collected through ARS is used to :

  • complete the Cost Study for the Illinois Board of Higher Education
  • other purposes include course assignment analysis; instructional workload reports; space analysis reports; and hospital finance reports.

Academic staff includes administrators, academic professionals, research staff, and graduate assistants. The system also includes individuals who are appointed in visiting or adjunct academic positions.
