We will have a Pre-Production Banner INB</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">instance available for READ ONLY on Friday so that offices that are open can view data to help assist our students. However, no changes will be allowed during this time frame. We will provide details</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Thursday on how to access this instance.</span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;" /><strong style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">Monday, August 6, 2018</strong><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">:</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;"> Banner 9 will be live!
