Rollins College Banner 9 Project
Welcome to the information page for Banner 9! Below you will find some helpful information and resources for the Banner 9 upgrade project. We welcome your feedback – suggestions for additional information are always considered. Send email to ksanchez@rollins.edu.
What is Banner 9?
Glad you asked! Banner 9 is different from Banner 8 in a few ways:
1) It’s written in something different – no more Oracle forms or Java on your desktop needed for Banner! It looks different, but the forms have mostly the same design. NOTE: For a period of time, Banner 8 and Banner 9 will BOTH be available in production. At some point, no later than December 31, 2018, Banner 8 will become unavailable.
2) Searching and navigating – this is where the learning curve is fairly steep. We have training and resources below to help you get started. But practice, practice, practice!
3) Naming conventions – INB is now called Administrative Pages, or Admin Pages.
4) Logging in – you will now use your FoxID and password to log into Banner.
5) New self-service applications – there are a number of new self-service applications in most modules. See below for a list. (Note: we may or may not implement them all, depending on usefulness for Rollins.)
Training
We will offer some in-person training. Watch your email for more information.

Self-service Applications
Registration
The Registration app provides four key processes. You can choose to implement one or two areas of new
- Registration Planning: Allows students and advisors to create planned registration schedules. Also integrates with Degree Works Student Educational Plan (SEP).
- Block Registration: Allows students to self-select the block of classes they wish to attend. Admin users no longer have to register students into blocks.
- Projected Registration: Leverages CAPP (or external API to another degree audit system) to generate a projected list of student courses for selection in the next registration term.
- Structured Registration: Students are guided through the selection of classes based on their academic program requirements.
