Faculty/Staff IT Needs and Services

This page is meant to provide an overview of services and needs that are provided by the Office of Information Technology at NCCC. Topics below discuss various resources that are used by faculty and staff.

BANNER WEB & BANNER PRODUCTION

All faculty and staff will be provided with a Banner ID that can be used to access Banner Web functions, which include:

  • Updating Personal Information
  • Submitting Final Course Grades
  • Various advising functions, including academic student transcripts and records of advisees
  • Viewing class schedules and availability

Your Banner ID is in the format @00######, where the # symbol represents any number from 0-9. You can find out your Banner ID in three ways:

  1. By looking on the back of your NCCC ID card.
  2. By contacting your Division secretary.
  3. By calling the OIT Help Desk at 614-6730. You will be asked for information to confirm your identity.

 

Staff may also require access to Banner Production. You will be given a separate ID and password to log in. This information will be provided by your supervisor. Basic Banner training is available. Please contact the OIT Help Desk at 614-6730 to schedule a training session if needed.

EMAIL

All Faculty and Staff are entitled to an NCCC email account. To request and account, please see your Division secretary or supervisor. Once an email account has been created, you can access your email in two ways:

  1. On Campus: You can set up Microsoft Outlook to access your email. Please call the OIT Help Desk at 614-6730 if you need assistance in setting up your account.
  2. On or Off Campus: We have set up web access to email accounts. You can access the page by going to the NCCC home page (http://www.niagaracc.suny.edu) and clicking on the link titled "Outlook Web Access". If you have any questions, please see the FAQ section located on this page.


ANGEL

ANGEL is the NCCC web-based course management portal. Faculty may choose to use ANGEL to supplement on-campus instruction and some online courses are run through the ANGEL course management portal.

With ANGEL you can create quizzes, tests, surveys, download course related materials, have assignments submitted electronically, display grades, and communicate with your students. You can also use ANGEL to store files, either through your ANGEL file manager or your personal Library Object Repository (LOR).

As of the Fall 2007 semester, we have moved ANGEL to a new platform that is hosted by the SUNY Learning Network (SLN). ANGEL can be accessed at the following URL:

https://niagaracc.sln.suny.edu

For any technical issues or how-to's (adding content, maintaining grades, etc.) you may contact The Office of Distance Learning at (716)614-6798 or the OIT Help Desk at (716)614-6730. If you need assistance logging into ANGEL, you may contact the SLN Help Desk at 1-800-875-6269 or by email at helpdesk@sln.suny.edu.

The Office of Information Technology provides staffing and support for all staff and faculty computers, student computer labs and classrooms. This comprises support services for the technology on campus including Help Desk, as well as the operation of the public computing labs, "Smart" classrooms, and the Cyber Café.
