Banner FAQs

showhide_answer My desktop shortcut or favorite stopped working to get to Banner, what do I do?

Go to www.western.edu/banner.  If you previously have saved a shortcut to your desktop it will no longer work because the web address for Banner has changed.  The live link will be available at the above website.

showhide_answer How do I query and schedule classrooms?
Department Assistants…To avoid conflicts in classrooms in your building, schedule events using SLAEVNT. Detailed instructions for scheduling events and also querying existing room usage can be found here. Another quick way to look at the availability of a room is to run BLDG_RESERVATIONS through job submission in BANNER.
showhide_answer How do I submit a request for Banner data?
If you have a request for the BANNER programmers, you can send an email to bluesheet@western.edu. Include a brief description of the request in the subject line. This will submit the request to our “bluesheet” process, and you will be notified of the submission. These requests may include things such as reports of BANNER data, a BANNER navigation issue, analysis for a possible new BANNER-related process, etc. (requests for which you have filled out our “bluesheets” in the past). We still welcome your telephone calls and visits!
