Banner General Instructions, version 5X

Username: Your first initial plus your last name (i.e., jbanner). After you type in your username, do NOT hit the Enter key, be sure to use the TAB key.

Password: The Information Technology department will assign your first password. After you have received instructions on how to use the Banner System, you need to change this password immediately.
You need to select a password that you can remember but one that will not easily be discovered. The password needs to be eight to nine characters and even though it's a good idea to mix characters and numbers, do not to start with a number. Use the Enter Key or click on Connect.

Database: Leave this blank.

 

How do I change my password?

Go To: Type GUAPSWD in this field and press Enter.

 Oracle User ID: type in your username (it will appear in all caps even though you didn't depress CapsLock, it won't matter)

 Oracle Password: type in your password exactly as the IT Deparment. gave it to you.

 New Oracle Password: type in the new password that you have selected

 Verify Password: type your new password again and click on Exit

 A message will appear telling you your password has been successfully changed.

 *Remember.....the IT Division will NOT know what you've changed your password to, so you won't be able to call and find out what it is if you forget. You can change your password as often as you like, especially if you think someone has discovered what it is.
