Ellucian Banner

Business software

Built when you ask for it

Sync Ellucian Banner student, course, and grade data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The Ellucian Banner connector syncs your student information system data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull students, courses, sections, and grades through Ellucian's Ethos Integration platform, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Students
  • Courses
  • Sections
  • Grades

How it gets built

  1. Choose Ellucian Banner when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads Ellucian Banner's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against Ellucian Banner itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

Ethos Integration API key exchanged for a bearer token. Banner has no standalone public API; access requires an existing Ellucian/Banner deployment with Ethos Integration configured by an admin.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a Ellucian Banner connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from Ellucian Banner's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can Ellucian Banner data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.
