Siena College has updated to Banner 9 SSB. It allows students and faculty to use SSB for class registration, viewing student records, accessing financial aid information, and more. In addition to new functionality, one of the advantages of SSB 9 is that it is a single sign-on system and will use your normal Siena email account and the password associated with that account.
Why are we upgrading to Banner 9 SSB?
This update will replace Banner 8 support as it enters discontinuation. With Banner 9, there will be an overall improvement to browser compatibility issues, reduce security threats, and enhance overall accessibility.

immediately?
