New Student Attribute or Hold Code Request

The process to request a new student attribute or hold code in Banner is part of Wright State University's commitment to strong data governance. Approving requests and implementing clear guidelines will enhance data accessibility while preserving the integrity of student information. 

Request Process

A new student attribute or hold code must be requested by a University employee. 

• Student attributes are used to track special characteristics of a student that are not part of their academic record. They are term-specific and may change frequently based on the student's status or conditions.


• Student holds are restrictions placed on a student's account to prevent access to services like registration, transcripts, or financial aid, until a specific issue is resolved. A student with a hold must contact the office that placed the hold to resolve the issue.

This process does not apply to other attribute types like course and course section attributes.

Approval Process

After submission, your request will be forwarded to the Data Governance Council for review and approval. Once approval decisions are made (e.g., approved or denied) the request will be sent to the Registrar's Office for fulfillment, and you will be notified.
