Introducing the New Look of Self-Service

Mt. San Antonio College (Mt. SAC) is preparing to transition from Self-Service Banner 8 to Self-Service Banner 9, bringing a more modern, user-friendly experience to students, faculty, and staff. While this upgrade primarily focuses on a refreshed user interface (UI) with improved navigation and a mobile-friendly design, the underlying data and processes will remain the same.

This transition is mandated by Ellucian, as Self-Service Banner 8 will no longer be supported. Additionally, implementing SSB9 is essential for compliance with AB 1111 Common Course Numbering (CCN) requirements. Upgrading to SSB9 ensures continued regulatory compliance while enhancing operational efficiency and positioning Mt. SAC for future innovation.

Stay tuned for more details on what to expect and how you can prepare for Banner 9!

FAQs

    • Why is Ellucian announcing a change in support status to Self-Service Banner  8?
      Ellucian is transitioning Self-Service Banner 8  to a maintenance support status until September 30, 2025, and then to End of Life on January 1, 2026, as part of their modernization efforts, which offers an improved user experience and enhanced features.  
    • What does End of Support mean?
      End of Support occurs when a release or product is no longer supported by Ellucian. In most cases, Ellucian will have made newer releases or alternative products available that fulfill the same or similar needs well before releases or products move to this status.  When a release or product is in End of Support status, documentation, previously released fixes, and other content associated with the release may no longer be available, and there will be no new software releases, regulatory updates, technical or functional enhancements, patches or hot fixes of any kind.
