Banner Admissions went live this month to support the recruitment and application steps of new students enrolling for the fall 2010 term.  Banner Admissions will largely be used by just the Admissions office during its first few months of operation.  Academic departments will be introduced to Banner Admissions during other Banner training next spring.  Additional modules of Banner will go live over the next  ten months (e.g. financial aid, course schedule preparation, registration, student billing, academic history, grading) culminating in all student processes live in Banner for the fall 2010 term.  All  student  processes  prior to the fall 2010 term  (i.e. spring 2010, summer 2010) will continue in SIS Plus.   Congratulations to the Admissions and Technical teams for their successful launch.

Banner Finance is completing its first 3-months of operation.  Three  types of training and support opportunities are available to assist the university community: 

• Open Forum/Solutions Center -  Come prepared with your questions and receive one-on-one help with problems you may be experiencing with Banner Finance.  Learn how to fix problems with INB (Internet Native Banner).  Pre-registration is not required.
  
  • Tuesday, October 13th , 9:30 - 10:30 am, GITC 2305.
  • Thursday, October 22nd, 9:30 - 10:30 am, GITC 2305.
  • Tuesday, November 10th, 9:30 - 10:30 am, GITC 2305.
    
• Purchasing Refresher Course -  A one-hour refresher course for anyone who previously attended the three-hour Self-Service Banner courses held this summer.  Pre-registration is required by contacting the Budget office at ext. 3125.  The refresher courses are held at 10:30 am,  immediately following the Open Forum/Solutions Center dates scheduled above.  Come early, get some questions answered, and attend the Purchasing Refresher Course. 
  
• Self-Service Banner Finance Training - For those  faculty and staff that have not yet attended one of the sessions held this summer, this three-hour hands-on training session will be sufficient to get you started with Self Service Banner.  Pre-registration is required by contacting the Budget office at ext. 3125.  Please register early because the session will be cancelled if pre-registration is insufficient.  This is the last planned session for the fall semester.
  
  • Thursday, October 15th, 9 am - 12 noon, GITC 2305.

Phase II of Banner Finance is beginning next month and will focus on processes for budget development, non-student accounts receivable, grants and contract billing, and endowment management. 

The Banner Finance Training Team is preparing additional training opportunities for those users needing help editing Self-Service Banner requisitions, accessing grant and contract information, and tracking non-student accounts receivable.  Look for further announcements on these new training opportunities later this fall. 

Thank you.
