10 In order for staff to place this Hold on a Student Banner Account, they must Ensure they have the Delegation to place the Hold on the Account or seek the approval from their Delegate. Create an Institute File or CRM to store any relevant information regarding the Hold being placed on a Student Banner Account. To access an Institute File staff need to contact the Records Management Unit. The files may be kept in the relevant areas of the Institute and access can then be provided to the files to relevant Delegates for these types of Holds as required. Contact Banner Assist to implement the Banner Hold. The Banner Hold description needs to contain the Title of a Position (not your name), the acronyms for this are provided by the Banner Assist Team, for example, Student Support Staff (SSS) and the number of the Institute File which has been created to provide background as to why a Hold has been placed on the Student Banner Account. A report for these types of Holds needs to be run on a monthly basis to maintain an up to date register for areas such as CIT Student Services, Student Support areas and the Executive Staff Support. If formal complaints are made, the process should be for staff to check if an Institute File exists for the student and whether or not a RP Hold has been placed on the Student Banner Account. Only staff with the relevant Delegation can authorise Banner Assist to remove an RP Hold. If the Hold is removed an explanation as to why the Hold has been removed is to be recorded on the relevant Institute File.
