Email a Class Using Self-Service Banner (Faculty/Advisors)

Faculty/Advisors can compose a group email to students on their class rosters using Self-Service Banner. This feature populates the recipients for an email using whichever email application has been set up on that computer as the default for new messages.

 

  1. Choose Class List from the Faculty Tools area visible after signing into Self Service Banner for Faculty.The "Class List" link should appear under the "Faculty Tools" section of Self-Service Banner 9 for Faculty after sign-in...

 

  1. From the Select a Term pull-down menu, choose the academic term for the class you'd like to email."Select a Term" appears as a pulldown menu, and should show any active/available academic terms for the current user.
     
  2. You should see a list of classes based on the term you've chosen. Click on any of the "empty" spaces within a class listing to open its detailed view. Please note that other hyperlinks in the class listing (like CRN or Course Title) will only open a basic pop-up.
    Clicking the actual course title and other entries like the CRN will open up a basic preview, but you can click anywhere else in the horizontal listing space for a class to pull up its detailed view.
     
  3. After opening the detailed class page, you can "checkmark" the students you'd like to message, and then click the Email envelope icon to open the default email app that you'll use to actually compose and send the message.
    The top-left checkbox in the roster list can be clicked to select all students as recipients. In the upper-right area, you can then click the blue "envelope" icon to trigger the window where you'll compose your message.
     
  4. If this is your first time using this feature, you may be prompted to choose a default email app. Which email app or browser is based on the setting on your device for "mailto" links (changing this setting is similar, but looks different between MacOS and Windows).
    The Windows prompt to choose the email app you'd like to use allows you to choose "Always" or "Just once"
     
  5. When you see the window to Compose an email with the recipients already filled in, you can write and then send your email.
