General Argos Information
General_Student Form Information
In Argos, one of the most commonly used forms to gather student information, is the General_Student Form. The many fields in the form allow users to extract precise student information from Banner, for a report using only needed data. To make the report easy to use, there are drop-menus for many of the fields that can pinpoint just the information users need to complete their report. The form allows for selections based on term, colleges with the university, majors, minors, levels, advisors, locations, and much more. A careful selection of these fields for a report, can give the user a complete answer to their query. The report can be rendered in a .csv or a .pdf format.
- Argos training is available in the use of the Gen_Student Report. Contact the Technology Support Center for more information.
