Finance Training

The Financial Services office offers Banner Finance training to faculty and staff.  We provide one-on-one, departmental group, and class training.  Group training is also offered as part of the Faculty and Staff Administration & Finance training.  Training includes introduction topics such as University indexes, funds and Banner Finance reports.  If you are a new Banner user, a training session is required before Finance access is granted.
