Major Changes

With Banner 9, there are significant changes to both current Banner forms and Banner self-service. Notably, Banner forms will be replaced with the new Banner 9 administrative pages which will eliminate the need of frequent upgrades to new java versions, and provide a more user-friendly interface. Similarly, Banner 9 Self-service will also offer a much more robust user interface compared to its current version. In addition, it will also provide great opportunities to integrate with other applications from Ellucian and third-party vendors.
