Banner 9 Project Update October 2018

Banner 9 now available for previews

On October 23, the Banner 9 project took a big step forward when we turned on more than 2,100 Banner forms in Banner 9. That included almost all the Banner forms that didn’t require customization by our developers.

(You may hear those forms referred to as “baseline” forms because UO is using the baseline version as is from Ellucian. In contrast, many other Banner forms have either been modified by UO or were created in-house at UO.)

An email message went out to all Banner users via the banner-status@lists.uoregon.edu list on October 25 about this change. We encourage Banner users to get into Banner 9 and try it out.

Recent Banner 9 Launches

  • Four sets of business processes used by the Registrar’s Office recently launched in Banner 9, on August 23 and September 13. Those included the Degree Guide, Catalog, and Schedule processes. The Schedule process is used broadly across campus, while the others are used internally by the Registrar’s Office. The remaining post go-live issues have been resolved for that collection of work.

  • All Finance and Payroll forms expected to launch in Banner 9 by mid-December. Development is underway on forms for business processes used broadly across campus. Information Services staff and Ellucian outsourced services are sharing that work.
  • Human Resources forms are expected to launch by mid-December.
  • Student, Admissions, and Accounts Receivable forms are expected to launch later in December.
