Banner Student Self-Service

Banner Student Self Service is a web-based tool that enables SGU students to view schedules, registrar information and various other functions from any computer with Internet access. By entering your Banner credentials, you can look up specific student information such as your academic history, student schedule, and student invoice.

The Banner system is new to all students this semester.  The Banner Student Self Service portal link can be found on the SGU home page just above the link for the Member center/My SGU. It is labeled “Student Self Service.”

At this time, a size limitation in the Banner system with respect to PIN values prevents us from having a single Password/PIN to manage all three of your accounts. Future versions of Banner will allow you to use User ID/Password combination will be able to access all three secure systems.

Meanwhile, your Banner account is separate from any other accounts. Although your user name may be the same as your network and e-mail, your Banner password/PIN will be different.

Banner User ID for Returning Students:
Your Banner User ID is the same as your network (AD)/e-mail account user name.

Banner User ID for New Students:  
Your user name will be the one that was provided in your welcome e-mail. Please note that you can also find your user ID as the left most part of your SGU e-mail address (up to, but not including the “@” sign).

Your log on ID for Student Self Service is case sensitive and entirely in upper case letters.

Banner Password/PIN for Returning and New Students:

For illustrative purposes, John Smith would log on to his Banner Student Self Service account with  JSMITH (all capital letters)

The password or PIN is only six characters and is initially set to your birth date. The format of the
PIN is MMDDYY. To illustrate how to construct your initial PIN let’s follow this example:

  • Student John Smith was born January 3, 1986.
  • His PIN to access Student Self Service would be: 010386

In the rare event that you did not furnish the University with your Birth Date, you will have to
contact the help desk by opening a ticket at http://shor.sgu.edu to request assistance with accessing the Banner Student Self Service Portal.

Security Notice: Your Social Security Number no longer serves as your PIN #.
