Seeking Tips and Resources for Transitioning from Banner to PeopleSoft Financial Aid

  • 1.  Seeking Tips and Resources for Transitioning from Banner to PeopleSoft Financial Aid

    Posted 15 hours ago

    Hello HEUG Community,

    I'm transitioning into a role where I will be working with PeopleSoft Financial Aid, and my background up to this point has been primarily with Ellucian Banner Financial Aid. I'm reaching out to see if anyone who has worked with both systems could share insights or point me toward helpful resources.

    I'm especially interested in:

    • Key differences between Banner and PeopleSoft from a Financial Aid standpoint
    • Recommended training materials, documentation, or HEUG resources
    • Tips for learning PeopleSoft's structure, terminology, and navigation
    • Common challenges you encountered when making this switch

    Any advice or resources would be greatly appreciated as I work to build my PeopleSoft knowledge base.

    Thank you,

    Welcome Kyle.

     

    I would highly recommend the HEUG Financial Aid listserv.   Financial Aid - Thrive HEUG    There is no shortage of discussions, knowledge sharing , and fun in that listserv. 

     

    Last month there was a webinar Introduction to Financial Aid for Technical Folks  this can give you a sense of Financial Aid processing in PS

     

    There is a monthly FA Coffee Hour – except this month -  which actively discusses FA processing.

     

    These are all recorded sessions and can also be found in the E-Academy On Demand area and the corresponding powerpoints and conversations are all in the FA listserv above.

    This was thread from November:  FA Coffee Hour - November 2025 Follow-up | Financial Aid

     

    To Register for FA Coffee Hours – This should put a recurrence on your calendar when you receive the email back.   Financial Aid Coffee Break
