Administrative Information Systems

Get Access to Banner

There are two types of access requests for the Banner administrative information system. The first is to request a Banner account. Each requestor needs to complete the form and forward it to the relevant Banner Area Coordinator(s). The second type of access is for individual departmental budgets. To be able to view budgetary information in Banner, users must complete the Budget Access Form and forward it to Business/Financial Services.

The Banner Access Process

To obtain access to Banner a user must:

  1. Obtain an access form (see right side bar) and follow the steps outlined on the form.
  2. Area Coordinators assign the privileges a user should have based upon the privileges the person who previously held the position and in discussion with the person’s supervisor.
  3. Once all of the appropriate signatures have been obtained, the signed form is sent to Sue Tellier, Director of Administrative Information Systems.
  4. Sue Tellier reviews the requested access and, if there are no questions, will create the user in Banner and assign requested access role(s). In cases where there are questions about the access requested, Sue will discuss the issue with members of the Administrative Information Systems team who might discuss the access in question with the department supervisor or the Banner Area Coordinator.
  5. Once access is granted, Sue Tellier notifies the user, the Banner Trainer and the department supervisor. Sue also asks the user to sign up for Banner Navigation training with the Banner Trainer (held once each month).

Additional Banner Access

When additional Banner access privileges are required, a user would make a request through his/her department head and then through the Banner Area Coordinator. The latter sends email to Sue Tellier requesting that she grant the requested access.

Banner Access to Budget Data

Access to a Banner budget account is granted by Kathy Cannon, University Controller. It is granted only to specific accounts designated by her. To obtain such access, a user would:

  1. Download the Banner Banner Account Request form from the same web site as listed in number 1 above.
  2. Complete the form and obtain the required signatures.
  3. Return the form to Kathy Cannon, who will grant access.

Removing Banner Privileges

  • Although Human Resources will notify AIS when an employee is leaving Clark, department supervisors are encouraged to notify AIS of the date when an employee will leave their position for another position within the University or leave Clark. The employee’s access to Banner will be terminated on that date. It is particularly important for Sue to know this information for part-time and temporary employees.
  • Banner access roles do not carry with a person from one position to another within Clark. When a person leaves a position for another, he/she will be granted only the access required for the new position based upon the determination made by the Banner Area Coordinator. Previously held access will be removed from the employee’s privileges unless otherwise directed by an Area Coordinator.
  • Sue Tellier, as Director of Administrative Information Systems, is responsible for insuring Banner security. She is authorized to remove privileges in the case of improper usage or inappropriate access.
