There are two different faces to Banner:

  • DU Self-Service (aka Banner Self-Service) - Students, and most faculty and staff, interact with Banner through the self-service functions provided in DU Self-Service. Through DU Self-Service...
    • Students confirm their course registrations or check their class schedule
    • Student employees record their time at work
    • SOS staff members report their time and check leave balances
    • Faculty, staff and student employees can check their pay information
    • Faculty can check their class rosters and enter grades
    • Faculty and staff with financial responsibilities can view account information (see Banner Self-Service Finance documentation)
