Accessing and Utilizing Banner 9 Self-Service for Faculty and Advisors
For faculty and advisors at universities that have implemented Banner 9 Self-Service, this system offers a comprehensive platform for managing academic tasks. Here's a guide on how to access and utilize its features, particularly Faculty Grade Entry.
To get started, log in to your institution's designated portal using your university credentials. Once logged in, you'll find a dedicated Faculty/Advisor menu separate from the student menu. This menu is your gateway to specific functions such as viewing courses and rosters, submitting grades, and accessing mid-semester reports about students at academic risk.
Within the faculty/advisor interface, you'll find Faculty Grade Entry and roster access. Here, you can submit final grades and midterm reports. Banner 9's updated, streamlined interface separates faculty/advisor access from student access, improving navigation and ease of use.
In addition to grading tools and class rosters, Banner 9 Self-Service also provides access to student profiles, password and personal information management, and consents and overrides.
Regarding key academic dates and related information, such as deadlines for grade submission or important academic calendar events, these are typically communicated by your registrar's office or through institutional resources linked within Banner or the faculty portal. You can often find relevant details including grade change policies, deadlines, and instructions for requesting grade or Last Date of Attendance (LDA) changes on your institution's registrar website or through Self-Service Banner notices.
If you need technical support or further orientation on these features, many universities have an IT Help Desk or Faculty Success office available during business hours to assist you.
It's worth noting that this summary aligns with the implementations of Banner 9 Self-Service and registrar services at Lamar University and West Virginia University, which are representative examples. For your specific institution, check your local Banner Self-Service portal and registrar communications.
The Grading Information and Key Dates web page is another valuable resource. This page offers details about Faculty Grade Entry and key dates, making it a useful resource for accessing this information.
Technology is used in the streamlined interface of Banner 9 Self-Service, enhancing the navigation and ease of use for faculty and advisors. This system, when combined with education and self-development, like understanding grade change policies and improving grading practices, empowers university staff to provide better support for students.
