Faculty and Advisors using myHilltop and Self-Service Banner

Now is the time to start using myHilltop and Self-Service Banner (SSB) for Summer and Fall 2014 registration and courses. All contracted and adjunct faculty are automatically granted limited access to basic information in SSB including Class Rosters, the Course Catalog, Alpha Course Listing, Directory Information, Faculty Schedules, and Grade Entry. Advisors may also see a list of their advisees.

How do I get Help and get Trained?

There are online training resources available through the Registrar’s office site that will help Faculty and Advisors on learning how to use myHilltop and SSB.

What’s New?

There are a few new changes that faculty and advisors must know about in order to work with SSB and help students and view course content.

  1. ID numbers in Banner must be a total of 9 digits. For Example, a Current ID Number is 841289.   For Banner to accept this as a valid login you will need to add three zeroes before the number to equal  000841289. If the Current ID Number is only 5 numbers, such as: 82978.  You would need to add four zeroes before the number to equal 000082978.
  2. Course Reference Numbers (CRNs) are numbers assigned to courses in Banner when a course section is created. CRNs are a five-digit code unique to every section and will change each registration term. Faculty will be assigned a new CRN for each course they teach each semester.
  3. Final grades may be entered and saved and changed, if needed, before the final date to submit grades.
  4. Faculty may also now enter office hours and basic syllabus information for students to view when registering for courses.
