Banner INB is functioning normally.
Banner INB will be unavailable for approximately 15 mins in order to resolve the intermittent login issue some users are experiencing. This will only affect Banner INB and if you are currently logged into Banner you will get disconnected. The downtime will begin in 10 mins and I will confirm with you all once Banner is back up.
Thank you for your understanding and we do apologize for the inconvenience.
Users maybe experiencing intermittent Banner INB login issues. This impacts Banner INB only.
We are currently investigating the cause and will provide updates as they are available.
