Teachers College is rolling out the newest version of Self-Service Banner (SSB9) with updates aimed at modernizing and improving the user experience. SSB provides a large part of the functionality found in the myTC portal. Students, staff, and faculty interact with SSB when registering for courses, submitting timesheets and leave reports, viewing student records, accessing financial aid info, and more.
This upgrade will impact much of this functionality. For more details about the changes and the implementation timeline please continue reading below.
The following areas have been revamped. The look and feel has changed, and there have been some functional changes as well.
Personal details such as contact info, mailing addresses, and emergency contacts are now in a Personal Information Dashboard. View and edit personal details including email and mailing addresses, phone numbers, and emergency contacts.
View registered courses and hours, registration notices, holds, and access transcripts, grades, and graduation applications.
Prepare for the next term, view past records, search and register for classes, and more.
View status of aid requirements, award offers, aid history, and other resources and notifications relating to financial aid.
Access Time and Leave Reporting, Leave Balances, Pay Stubs, Direct Deposit Info, EPAFs and more.
Self-Service 9 is available now to everyone.
You can find links into Self-Service 9 at the top of the center column on the folowing tabs in myTC: Student Resources, Faculty Resources, and Emplyee Resources.
During the pilot period, it is up to you. We encourage you to use the new Self-Service Banner 9 so that you have an opportunity to provide feedback and report any issues.
Both SSB8 and SSB9 access the same data. So, for example, if you submit a leave report in SSB8, your supervisor can approve it in either SSB8 or SSB9. The end result is the same. This is true of all functionality available via Self-Service.
