Initiating Personal Updates in Banner

Email and Google Interface
Students may choose to receive a new email address that utilized their institutionally recognized name's first initial. If changing from a pre-existing College of St. Scholastica email address, all files and correspondence from your previous address is transferred to your new one and your previous address becomes an alias to your new one; this means that all correspondence sent to your previous email address will be automatically forwarded to your new one.
College Directory
Your institutionally recognized name will show up in search results, class rosters and most college correspondence; likewise your professors and classmates will only see your institutionally recognized name, meaning those on its receiving end will see your institutionally recognized name.
ID Card
You can receive a new identification card (and take a new ID picture, if you choose) for free after changing your name in the College's systems.
Personal Records Information
CSS applicants may answer optional questions about their personal information. Updates or changes can be made in Banner Self-Service/Banner Web.
