In an effort to provide all potential Administrative Banner users with the proper training needed to gain access to specific processes in Admin Banner, ITS is now offering the Admin Banner Navigation and Financial Query Class as a self-enrollment course in Canvas. This Self Enroll Employee class is an external course and is not available for sign-up via Banner Registration. This course is only available to MSU administrators and staff (intermittent workers, student workers and graduate assistants will only be allowed to take this training if their current job/position requires an Admin Banner Production account). The course is located in the portal under Canvas Course Self Enrollment for Employees. Upon completion of enrollment in an external course, refresh the browser and access external classes via the Canvas Courses card. For instructions on registering for this course, review the article, Enrolling in Banner Canvas Courses.
The Canvas Administrative Banner Navigation and Financial Query Course is a self-paced course containing a series of videos and documents designed to help users learn the basics of accessing and using BANNER. It is highly recommended that the Admin Banner Production (not myBanner) account is setup prior to enrolling in this course.
