This is a reminder that Self-Service Banner 8 (SSB 8) will be disabled on November 24, 2025, as part of Arkansas Tech University’s transition to Banner 9 Self-Service. This step is in preparation for the previously announced December 1, 2025, milestone in our modernization efforts.
Ellucian, our vendor, will permanently decommission SSB 8 in early January 2026.
Between November 24, 2025, and the end of the year, OIS will have the limited ability to temporarily re-enable SSB 8 only in cases where a critical issue has no immediate workaround.
What This Means for You
After November 24, 2025, SSB 8 links and pages will no longer be accessible.
All users should begin using Banner 9 Self-Service for their daily tasks and processes.
If you encounter issues in Banner 9, please notify us as soon as possible so we can address them before the permanent decommission date.
