Resolution
Obtain or Extend Banner Access
If you are a student or temporary worker and your access has expired, your department will need to request an extension of your Banner access by contacting Banner Access .
If you have not yet been granted Banner access, or your access has been terminated because you switched jobs, your department will need to request Banner access for you. Note that you will need to complete Banner training before access will be granted. See https://beav.es/banneraccess for the form and instructions.
Too Many Open Sessions
When exiting Banner 9, make sure you sign out before closing your browser. If you just "X" out of the browser, you will leave orphan processes that may prevent you from starting another Banner session.
4-Hour Inactivity Timeout
If your session was inactive for 4 hours, you will see the "session has expired" message. Try connecting to Banner again.
Browser Cookie Issues
