Banner Access Requests

Banner Student Information System access is only available to current UH Hilo employees or student workers. Please complete the UH Banner Request for Access Privileges Form to request for access. Step-by-step instructions and screenshots are included below. To submit the form, the user requesting Banner access must have completed the Information Security Awareness Training (ISAT) within the past year. The form cannot be submitted with an invalid ISAT. The ISAT is replacing the previously used FERPA Tutorial. Actual Banner access will be determined by the appropriate departmental director.

You can access the UH Banner Request for Access Privileges Form through the direct link or searching for the form in KualiBuild. Both options require you to sign into KualiBuild with your UH username and password.

    • This section is also used for a current Banner user that needs access to a new Banner screen
    • If you need just the Banner screens listed under the Banner Class, leave this section blank
  • The “SSH Secured File Transfer Option” section is to request access to upload files to Banner for things such as a popload or to run a Banner job. SSH is not normally necessary for most Banner users.
  • For Submissions: Please locate the Actions section and click/tap on the green Submit button. On mobile devices, the Actions section is located below the form. Clicking/tapping Submit will constitute your digital signature.
