- Argos, including Bear Intelligence
- Banner Document Management (BDM)
- Self-service 9, including Employee Profile, Student Profile, Registration, and Faculty Assignments
- Custom web applications (Grails and Django), including Who-What, ATLAS, and Class Dashboard
- Any other system that relies on a direct connection to Banner
The following systems will not be impacted:
- University networks
- Phone systems
- Main (public) websites
- Brightspace
- Office 365
- Email services
- Video surveillance systems
- Electronic door access
- Application for admission

Update 2:00pm 7/30. We continue to investigate the connections with Evisions for Checks and Purchase orders.
Update 11:00am, 7/30. BDM Web viewer is now accessible. We still have some steps to take to get our auto-indexing of Checks and Purchase Orders working through Evisions and we are diligently working on those, so please hold on those two components, but otherwise things should be up and running. We will provide an additional update as the final components are ready.
Update 10:00am, 7/30. We apologize for the additional BDM outage time, we are continuing to troubleshoot issues related to our configuration change and are working with Ellucian to resolve the problem. We will provide updates as quickly as possible, and will provide another update no later than noon today.
Banner Document Management (BDM) requires a configuration change that will take it down around 4pm today (29 July 2026). We expect the system to be up no later than 10am Thu 30 July 2026. We will keep you informed when we bring BDM back for production work. The test system will also be affected.
Thanks for your patience as we keep our systems safe and secure!
