Banner 9 Self-Service

Welcome to the Banner 9 Self-Service Implementation Page

Georgetown University deployed Banner 9 in 2019 for back-end administrative services and OUR is now moving to implement Banner 9 Self-Service for MyAccess. Banner 9 Self-Service will provide a modern interface with updated functionality and mobile-friendly interface which will increase flexibility, and provide a more streamlined design.

Overview

Benefits of Banner 9 Self-Service

Advising Student Profile consolidates a student’s profile, education, and career path on a single page. It is newly accessible to advisors and students, allowing for truly personalized advice that helps students make better academic decisions. 

Self-Service includes Class Roster and View Grades functionalities:

  • Class Roster lets faculty members review their students’ academic profiles and schedules, communicate with students over email, print class rosters, and more.
  •  View Grades lets faculty members, students, and their advisors view a student’s academic progress.

Faculty Grade Entry offers faculty members mobile capability for entering assignment grades and posting midterm and final grades. The application can then automatically compute a final grade. To make things even easier, faculty members can also import grades directly from their existing spreadsheets or their learning management system.

Banner® Registration has been updated with intuitive registration tools and a mobile-friendly design to make it easier than ever for students, advisors, and administrators to use. It now includes seamless integration with Ellucian Degree Works™, advisor access, and registration planning via Student Education Planner. These new features include:

  • Giving advisors the tools they need to help students plan for success;
  • Using the planner provides demand-analysis reports to more accurately project course demand;
  • Delivering global capabilities that allow all Banner Student customers to plan for and track program completion.

Updated Accessibility Compliance: “Ellucian has adopted the accessibility standards and guidelines defined by the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG), at the AA conformance level. We use the industry accepted VPAT version 2.3 to document and communicate a product’s conformance with WCAG 2.1. Most VPATs are updated annually, and some more frequently, for example, when major user interface changes occur. Recent versions of Ellucian products have adopted the VPAT 2.3.” ~ Ellucian Design Systems webpage.
