The benefit of using Banner is that all constituents can enter data in multiple areas of Banner using standard codes, yet have the access to the shared data they need in the database to do their jobs.

  • If you are a new employee and need access to software applications to perform your job or are a current employee and need additional access, reference the Banner Support Contacts page to find the person to contact to obtain the necessary access. If you know the access that you need, you can enter a request for Banner Security through Royal IT Support, Request a Service, Business & Administrative Systems, Banner UserClass Security. If you already have a bannerid, check the applications that you have been authorized to use.
  • You will need to review the SANS training in order to get access to Banner.

Banner ERP is available 24/7, except for scheduled maintenance.

Access to Banner is controlled using an additional userid, referred to as a bannerid. The interfaces to the applications are divided into Banner 9 Admin and Employee Applications.

Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance is mostly scheduled on Saturdays, between the hours of 6 a.m. and Noon. This window can also be expanded if needed for major upgrades to Banner ERP. If you are hosting an important event that requires the Banner ERP to be available, please inform the Banner Support Contact for your department/division.
