Overview
The Ethos Integration allows you to sync student data from your SIS—Banner or Colleague—directly into Element451. This integration is ideal for institutions that use these systems as their system of record, especially for academic and enrollment-related data.
Ethos can bring in a broad range of student information, depending on what’s stored in your SIS. This might include:
Student profile data (e.g., type, status, ID)
Academic programs, majors, and degrees
Enrollment and registration details (terms, course sections)
Advisor assignments
Holds, alerts, or academic statuses
💡 Pro Tip: If you also use an LMS (like Canvas), you can integrate both systems. Element451 is designed to sync data from each source appropriately based on where that data lives. We explain this in more detail below.
SIS + LMS: How Data Works Together
If your institution uses both an SIS integration (via Ethos) and an LMS integration (e.g., Canvas) and there is overlapping data, the SIS will always be treated as the authoritative source. LMS data supplements where appropriate but will not override SIS values.
We’ll update this article as the integration development evolves.
