Banner 'How to' Guides

Our Banner 'How to' Guides are designed to complement Banner training. They take users through the processes that cover the student lifecycle in a simple step-by-step format.

They are a useful refresher for tasks that may only take place once a year such as exam board processes. The documents have been sorted into groups which mirror the training or for individual systems.

Troubleshooting-Reports "How to's"

Many of the queries that are received by Banner Support are related to reports that will not bring back students. Often, the reason for this is poor data in Banner rather than the report not working.

These documents are designed to help you look at the data in Banner when running the most common reports we receive queries about.
