Banner 9 upgrade goes live Oct. 29

by Michelle Saport  |   

As of Oct. 29, 2018, Banner 9 will become available for use in production to all departments. A notable change from Banner 8 to Banner 9 is that you can access it anywhere you have the internet. It's accessible on all mobile devices, has a modern look and feel with consistent navigation. Banner 8 will no longer be supported by the vendor, Ellucian, as of January 2019. This means the more use Banner 9 receives before the end of calendar year 2018, the better chance users have to become familiar with the new interface.

Special note: Beginning Oct. 29, users will have access to Banner 9 and Banner 8. The URL banner.alaska.edu will take users to a page that gives them the option of using Banner 8 or Banner 9.

Training: Talk with your Manager or Director about training opportunities available at your campus or visit the below project sites for a training flyer directing you to additional training resources. Training materials are also available at wiki.alaska.edu on the Banner 9 site. This wiki is available to anyone at UA with valid credentials.

Ellucian, the vendor for Banner, also offers Banner 9 training materials for all UA Banner users. You must first register on the Ellucian HUB here: https://clientapps.ellucian.com/SignUp

The Banner 9 training wiki houses a video walking you through the registration process for the HUB.
