Improved User Interface

  • Shorter learning curve for new and occasional users


Keyboard Shortcuts

Download the Banner Keyboard Shortcuts job aid. Several shortcuts have changed in Banner 9.  


Tablet Friendly

Banner 9 is supported on tablets. 


What stays the same?

The basic structure of the application remains the same. Banner pages (previously called forms) have a new look and feel, but page layout and behavior remains very similar to Banner 8

This upgrade has no impact on Banner Self-Service and other Banner-related applications
(Greensheets, GSIM, Course Evaluations, Course Proposals, and Course Offering Builder).
