Banner UserID and Password

To log into Banner (INB) you will need a Banner User ID with the appropriate system authorization assigned to it, and a Banner Password of your own choosing. Find out how to get both these credentials on the Authorization page of this site.

Upon logging into Banner, you will have access to appropriate Banner system(s) and forms.

Before you log in for the first time

  • Read and agree to the Policy on the Responsible Use of McGill Information Technology Resources governing the use of computers at McGill.
  • Verify that your machine meets the operating system and browser standards for Banner 8:
    - Recommended OS are Windows XP and Windows 2000
    - Recommended browsers are Internet Explorer 7 and 8
  • If you wish to use Banner on a Macintosh or with other browsers, see Troubleshooting tips for running Banner (INB).
  • Have your Banner UserID and your password handy.
  • If you are prompted to install the Java plug-in, click Install and follow the prompts.
  • If you need to scan or index documents (Imaging) on Banner INB, then you will need to install the AX 6.5 Desktop client and/or AX 6.5 Web Access Components. See Banner Imaging (ApplicationXtender AX 6.5) for installation instructions.

Log into INB

  1. Click Login to INB in the right-hand sidebar.

    Banner login

    Warning: You can minimize one or both of the browser windows, but do NOT close either one, as this will cause you to lose your Banner session.
  3. Closing your session: To end a session, you must close the Banner window first (the Developer Forms Runtime window), then close the window running in the background (the INB Session Manager window). Otherwise, the session will not shut down properly.

Off-campus access

For remote access, or if you are using a wireless connection on campus, you need to connect first to the McGill network using the McGill VPN. Then follow the steps above.
