Internet Native Banner, or INB, is an entirely web-based delivery of Banner forms used for connections to the Banner databases.
There are several databases configured to support Banner, from production use to custom development and testing, training, and reporting. INB has the advantage of being easy to install, and available from any computer with an Internet connection and a web browser. INB works well over DSL and Cable-modem connections, which means Banner can now be accessed when you are away from campus.
Links on the right provide detailed installation instructions.
NOTE: If you are accessing INB from anywhere other than ON CAMPUS, you MUST use a VPN client (Virtual Private Network) to create a secure connection. If you do not have a VPN client on your computer, contact the Helpdesk at x2200.
Follow the link below to connect to INB. Banner 7 is a signifcant software release and includes an entirely new look/feel and navigation for Banner.
