  • BANNER
    BANNER is the student information system (SIS) at UC Davis. It is sthe system of record for most information on students, courses, instructors, and enrollment. The majority of data consumed by Sakai will come from this system.
  • Degree Navigator
    While BANNER does contain a course description, it is not the system of record for course descriptions. The Course Approval Form database is the course description system of record and must be consulted when loading course descriptions. We do not have direct access to the CAF database. We do have access to the Degree Navigator database, which is periodically updated with data from CAF.
  • University Extension
    Through a process known as Open Enrollment, University Extension students may participate in University courses. However, those students are not recorded in Banner. Sakai will retrieve Open Enrollments from the University Extension database and add those enrollments to the Banner list of enrolled students.
  • MOTHRA
    Mothra is the UC Davis system of record for unique person identification. It stores a unique identifier for each member of the campus community, along with any other identifiers that exist in other campus systems. Banner, University Extension, and Sakai all use different identifers to reference users. Therefore, Mothra data is necessary to match identity among the disparate sources.
