Case Study: Oral Roberts University achieves 94% retention and streamlined student advising with Ellucian Banner 9

Technology revolutionizes the student advising process

Oral Roberts University, a private four‑year institution of 3,000–5,000 students, needed to improve retention and streamline its advising processes. To tackle this, the university partnered with Ellucian and deployed Ellucian Banner 9 student profile and self‑service tools to give advisors a single, comprehensive view of each student.

Ellucian’s Banner 9 consolidated grades, degree plans and advising notes into a single‑page student profile, enabling earlier identification of at‑risk students and coordinated, personalized interventions. As a result, Oral Roberts University improved advising consistency across campus and raised retention to 94%, with measurable process improvements and targeted outreach to students in need.
