Banner Self-Service Maintenance, Thursday, February 6th @ 8:30AM to 9:30AM

We will be performing maintenance on the Banner Self-Service system this upcoming Thursday, starting at 8:30AM and ending 9:30AM. Due to OIT having to coordinate with multiple vendor resources, this maintenance has to be performed during working hours. This maintenance will not impact Registration Self-Service, so our class search will continue to work, and students can go directly to: https://bannerxe.fau.edu/StudentRegistrationSsb if they need to access Registration.

We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

Mediasite continues to be unavailable from FAU campus networks. While Mediasite is available off campus, the interruption on FAU’s network will prevent the upload of new lecture capture videos. Classes are still recorded but will not be available until the issue is resolved.
