Faculty Banner TUTORIAL

Overview

Faculty Banner is the new web-based "user-friendly" interface for the Student Information System (SIS) effective April 2005.

The new Faculty & Advisors Banner Self Service provides convenient access to information such as faculty class schedules, class rosters, registration status, telephone numbers and email addresses of students enrolled in classes taught by the instructor, and a greatly simplified grading process. The online grading feature eliminates the traditional bubble type grade sheets. This will result in greater accuracy, will eliminate the overhead associated with the a bubble sheet type grading process and will result in timely reporting or grades to students.

Access to the Faculty & Advisors Banner Self Service System will be activated after the Faculty/Advisor attends a training session. See Banner training schedule.
