All faculty and staff have the ability to troubleshoot Banner Admin page errors.
This article provides instructions to troubleshoot the following error messages:
If you are using a Windows computer, you may encounter the following error messages when loading Banner Admin Pages:
- We're having trouble finding that site
- This site can't be reached
If you are on-campus, try to connect via Horizon, and see if you have the same issue. If you do, then submit a service request, and include your Horizon results. Your computer's network configuration may need to be updated by a member of Client Solutions to use User authentication instead of Computer authentication.
Please note in your service request if you are using a docking station. If so, a member of Client Solutions may need to update its settings to allow the connection. In the interim, try again with your laptop undocked and connected to hawkwifi.
If you are off-campus, make sure you have connected to the Virtual Private Network (VPN) first.
*Please note: If this is your first time logging into Banner, you may need to reboot your computer to initialize network settings.
