Self-Service Banner

As a general rule, use Banner Self-Service - or SSB for short - for information regarding YOU as an individual. All UMW Employees have a Banner Self-Service account for Employee Self-Service. Faculty will use Banner Self-Service when advising students and entering grades. Some Finance users will access Banner Finance information via Banner Self-Service.

Connecting to Banner Self-Service from on- or Off- Campus

You can login to Banner SSB through your Web browser from on- or off-campus. Unlike with Banner INB, you do not need to be connected via VPN from off-campus . Internet Explorer 6 (for Windows) or higher or Safari 1.0 or higher (for Mac OSX) is recommended. When you go to the SSB login page, you will be required to:

  • Enter your Network User ID (Just the username that precedes the "@umw.edu" in your e-mail address. e.g., "jsmith." You don't need to add the full context).
  • Enter your Initial password: If you have not changed it, the password will be:

    Last 4 digits of your SS# + Your two-digit birthday Month (e.g., August="08")

    This is the password for all of UMW's systems. Since it is based on personal information, your are strongly encouraged to change this password. To do so, go to our Self-Service Password System and change your password. This will change your password for all systems, except Groupwise and Blackboard.
