How do I access Banner?
Please see the KB article: Logging into Banner (How-to)
Can I bookmark the login page?
No. Since Banner utilizes Single-Sign on through Microsoft, creating a bookmark for the login page will result in errors on subsequent login attempts. Instead, please bookmark the following URLs:
What is MFA and why is it required?
Microsoft MFA (Multi-factor Authentication) is our two-factor authentication application that helps secure our data. Please see the Multi-factor Authentication Project (FAQ) for more details.
What are the shortcut keys (hot keys) for Banner Admin Pages?
Please see the KB article Banner Keyboard Shortcuts for a list of shortcuts for Banner Admin Pages.
Can I make my own menu?
Yes. To create your own My Banner menu, you can use the GUAPMNU Admin Page. NOTE: Changes to this menu will require you to log out and back in.
Can I access Banner from off campus?

If I'm looking for a student and don't know their exact name, can I still search for them?
Yes. Please see the KB article: Performing a Person Search in Banner Admin Pages (How-to) for details.
Can I run multiple tabs in a browser within Banner?
Yes. You can use multiple tabs or windows within a browser. However, single sign-on is not supported between different browsers.
Can Banner run from a smart phone?
Yes. Banner 9 will run on any size device, including smart phones and tablets.
Will there still be monthly maintenance for Banner?

NOTE: You may need to periodically close your browser and relaunch during the maintenance window.
If I don't know correct spelling of an Admin Page, can I use a wild card to find it?
Application Navigator supports predictive text and will actively search for Admin Pages that have the characters in the description or title without using a wild card. For example, typing identification into the search bar will bring up SPAIDEN, PPAIDEN, and other *IDEN pages.
Can I make the "Recently Opened" tab stay open in Application Navigator?
No. Unfortunately, that slides the rest of the screen off the viewable area. You can use shortcut key Ctrl + Y to pull up that recently used pages menu.
Can I find a person on FOAIDEN using their SSN?
Yes. You do get a warning saying SSN was replaced with current ID.
Can I clear a report and then do a wild card search to get just those accounts?
Yes. You can hit F7 (query) and then enter the value you want to search for.
How do I see an image for Xtender?
You can access Xtender through the Add and Retrieve options.
Can I change the screen colors?
Due to the new web architecture of Banner, you are no longer able to change the color of your screen.
