Banner 9

Banner 9 SSB Test Platform Now Live!

We are moving to Banner 9 Self-Service and the project is well underway. We are working with essential staff who will be working on the upgrade from key functional areas across the institution. This implementation involves an internal and external assessment of functional area processes and comprehensive training as we prepare to move to the Self-Service Banner 9 (SSB-9) applications. SSB-9 includes an updated user experience, a modern and mobile-friendly user interface, and new functionality for students and staff. The first SSB-9 applications will become available in December 2023, including Student Self Service and Faculty & Advisor Self Service and Finance Self Service.

As new functionality becomes available, Ellucian will work closely with each of your departments and functional users to evaluate and make this new functionality available.

All updates are tested and verified in a non-production environment before being made available to the campus. As with any system upgrade, we understand people often grow concerned over future changes. CITE is committed to working closely with campus administrative departments to deliver the solution in a comprehensive manner including assessment, business optimization knowledge transfer and training.

We welcome user involvement as a part of this initiative, and if you have questions or feedback, feel free to contact me at alwest@pvamu.edu

Banner® 9 by Ellucian is a major modernization to the university’s primary administrative information systems. It delivers a fresh user experience, many new tools, and significantly improved capabilities across all Banner components. Banner 9 eliminates the existing web browser restrictions and will be accessible on mobile devices.

CITE along with Oculus IT will continue delivery of Banner 8 functionality in a Hybrid Delivery mode, while full functionality of Banner 9 SSB features manifest throughout the Spring of 2024.
