Banner 9 project update

ITS is excited to share that Banner 9 Admin Pages are now available in production and our campus launch has begun. A special thank you to the Registrar’s Office, Human Resources, Finance Office, and other members of the project team who have been working diligently for over a year and a half.

Here are a few highlights about the upcoming rollout:

  • Current Banner users will be invited to one or more training sessions to learn general Banner 9 navigation along with any changes specific to their area.
  • Banner 9 will be accompanied by new required security methods for current Banner users to better protect campus data. Ahead of Banner 9 training, each user will receive an invitation to sign up for Duo, a multi-factor authentication tool. Use of Duo verifies anyone logging into Banner, and ensures that their username and password haven’t been compromised.

Banner Training Timeline:

Human Resources Pages: Live now
Student Pages: July—September
Finance Pages: Early September (followed by budget office manager training in early November)
Financial Aid Pages: Mid to late September

It may be somewhat challenging through the end of December as some current users work in Banner 8 and others in Banner 9. We appreciate your patience and cooperation during this time of transition.
