Welcome to the Villanova University Administrative Support web-site. Administrative systems and applications are maintained and supported by the Enterprise-wide systems division of UNIT. EWS provides information services to the entire Villanova community by maintaining a wide variety of systems that support the academic mission and administrative functions of the University.
Many of the services and systems are enterprise-wide and are used by all members of the University community. Administrative support is also provided to a specific function or department within the University. Policies applicable to these systems are governed by the
Administrative Information Technology (ADIT) committee.
Administrative systems are provided through the enterprise-wide software solution developed by SunGard Higher Ed
called Banner, which supports the administrative and business operations of the University. Villanova University implemented the first Banner application in 1994. From that time, Banner has supported and managed student information, faculty services, accounts receivable, financial aid, alumni/development, finance and human resources. Additional university-developed components, such as Parking Registration, have been added to expand Banner's functionality.
In addition to internet-native Banner, a number of self-service features are available through web-based NOVASIS. Students, faculty and advisors, University administrators and staff can access personalized and online University services to conveniently conduct business activities and view important information.
The Banner Coordination User Group is comprised of departmental representatives appointed from each key functional area that use the Banner Information System. Members of this group meet regularly in an effort to coordinate Banner upgrades, discuss any issues reported within their departments, and resolve any upcoming and existing issues in a collaborative manner.
