The Banner system (http://banweb.plu.edu) stores university data and allows online access to a number of university resources for PLU students, faculty and staff. For students it gives access to registration, course schedules, financial records, and other personal information. For faculty it gives access to teaching schedules, class rosters, waitlists, and tools to submit final grades. For employees, it allows for viewing and maintaining employment information such as tax information and leave balances.  Access to these resources is available through Banner Web, which is a secure site that requires a username and password separate from your ePass. Please click here for additional password information. If at home, access to Banner Web is only allowed through Internet Explorer.
