Banner 9 Upgrade Project to go live on August 1

Posted by Human Resources on July 31, 2018 in General Announcements

On Wednesday, August 1st the Banner 9 Upgrade project, Phase 1, will launch which means in Banner’s administrative area where faculty and staff input data, users will experience updates to navigation and screen layout along with initial process improvement. As a result, there may be impact on services provided by administrative units on campus, including Human Resources (Payroll), Registrar’s Office and Financial Services. Thank you so much for your patience as response times may be longer than usual in these areas as staff navigate the new system.

The Banner 9 Upgrade Project is one of the four major projects that fall within the Banner Transformation Program, with the overall goal of improving supports for the academic mission of Dalhousie.

The Banner 9 Upgrade project will be completed in two phases:

  • Phase 1 - The first phase, live on August 1, involves Banner’s administrative area (Banner INB), which is used by the university’s faculty and staff for data input and will include a new look and feel, updates to navigation and screen layout, and modest process improvement.
  • Phase 2 - The second phase involves implementing the newest version of DalOnline (Banner Self Service), and will include a review of how we use Banner to deliver services to students, faculty and staff every day. Phase 2 is expected to begin in summer 2018 and continue through 2022. All students, faculty and staff who use DalOnline will see changes during the second phase of the Banner 9 Upgrade Project.
