What is Banner?

Banner is an administrative database that houses all student-related data; essentially tracking student activity from recruitment to graduation. The database provides data integrity, accessibility and flexibility for enhanced decision-making, and improved service to students. The Banner database is directly linked with our online Student Information Services, which allows for web-registration and web-based faculty grade submission. Students can now make credit card payments online.
**Note: Banner is currently accessible only from an on-campus, networked computer. It is not available in the open computers labs, or over the wireless network.
