Banner 8 - timing

The move to the new version of Banner will begin on Thursday, January 28. Our current Banner environment will be down from 11:00 pm on January 28 through sometime Sunday afternoon, January 31.

During this time, there will be no access to INB, SSB, Vista, imaging, cognos (banner reports).

Faculty will not be able to access class lists, nor submit midterm grades.

Students will not be able to access class schedules, grades, or any other information, nor will they be able to pay bills during this time.

Banner 8 – changes

Some of the changes coming in Banner 8 include:

• Expanded field lengths for name, address, phone, email and SSN. Forms which include any of this information will look different.

• Customized registration error messages – we are now able to write our own registration error messages to better explain to students what error they have received. Some examples:
  • Corequisite message – Coreq-requires registration in additional course
  • Link - requires registration in both lecture and lab sections  
  • Major/minor – Restricted for designated majors/minors

 

• The SSASECT form is now tabbed, with a tab for enrollment information.

More Banner 8 information to come!!!

Have a great week,
