Overview

Phase II of the Banner 9 (B9) project is Banner Self-Service (SS). The Benefits of Banner 9 Self-Service is the Mobile user experience and responsive design. A consolidated and easy-to-use dashboard with Intuitive design for improved navigation. The SS modules are General, Employee, Faculty, Finance, Registration, and Student. B9 SS replaces Web4U. General is already live; the go-live for Registration is 2022. 

Registration is updated with intuitive registration tools and a mobile-friendly design to make it easier than ever for students, advisors, and administrators to use. And it now includes seamless integration with Ellucian Degree Works.
