Department Banner Entry
Once the department has followed the steps outlined on the Graduate School Website to arrange an assistantship or stipend/fellowship appointments, they must enter and approve the appointment using HR Banner.
Each department should have at least one person who has access and has had training to enter actions in the HR Banner system. That person should enter the graduate appointment as they were trained to do so. Detailed entry instructions are available online (Enterer's Manual) in the Resource Guide. In addition, the HR Service Center at (540) 231-9331 can provide assistance with the entry steps.
