System Update: Banner Outage Starting Friday, May 26, 2023

May 9, 2023 by Aubrey Larimore Vargas

Attention: Scheduled Updates, Banner will be down May 26-28

Big changes are underway behind the scenes as Information Services works to modernize our databases and enterprise resource system. Over Memorial Day weekend, My Missouri State, Admin Banner, Workflow, BDM, SSB8, Self Service 9, DegreeWorks, our custom web applications, and all other systems reliant upon our database will be unavailable as we apply updates and perform system maintenance. The updates being applied impact infrastructure and not user experience, so our users will not encounter any functional differences to our systems once the updates are in place.

During this time, there will be no impact to other systems such as: University networks, phone systems, main websites, Blackboard, Office 365, email services, video surveillance systems, electronic door access, and the application for admission.

System Update Schedule:

  • Outage begins Friday, May 26, 2023 at 5:00pm.
  • Outage ends by Sunday, May 28, 2023 at 5:00pm.
  • On Monday May 29, 2023 additional verification and testing will continue, and access to Banner and related systems may be intermittent throughout the day.
  • Full system restoration is expected by the beginning of the work day on Tuesday, May 30, 2023. However, updates will be posted here if anything interferes with this schedule.
