This is for the academic year they will participate in. It is also possible to book rooms throughout the summer in most buildings for events. Though most bookings for NTU accommodation are made through the website, manual bookings are also possible dealing directly with team members through phone, email, or in-person. In other circumstances e.g. where there is missing student qualifying data, staff are able create bookings for students. NTU accommodation service also can nominate or refer students to private accommodation providers.The technology that is in place to facilitate management of accommodation services is approximately ten years old. It is a combination of Banner administrative forms and web-based booking pages, developed in house using Banner technology. Additionally, there are some email communications sent from within Banner to Applicants/Students concerning their accommodation choices and confirmations. The in-flight Banner system has operated with a change freeze in place, so the Accommodation system has continued to stagnate. The system has known inefficiencies due to it being part of the student record system with an added web-based user interface.
