Case Study: Tecnológico de Monterrey boosts retention and graduation rates with Ellucian Banner

How Impact Award winner Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey overhauled their educational model with Banner

Tecnológico de Monterrey, a private university in Mexico, faced the challenge of supporting its revolutionary new Tec21 educational model, which required an unprecedented level of flexibility and complexity in its student management processes. To realize this vision, the institution needed a highly-tailored tech platform that could streamline data sharing, revolutionize student management, and be deployed across its 25 campuses in an incredibly short timeframe. They turned to their vendor, Ellucian, and its Banner platform to meet these unique requirements.

With help from Ellucian Professional Services, the university implemented Ellucian Banner 9. The integrated platform was tailored to seamlessly interact with the Tec21 environment, optimizing automation and improving data handling. The measurable results were significant, including a 2.8% increase in student retention and a dramatic improvement in the on-time graduation rate, which rose from 29.2% to 50.1%. The solution was successfully extended to serve over 90,000 students across all academic levels.
