Banner vs. myPSU
Banner is PSU’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that manages student and financial information (among other things). Many PSU users with an Odin Account, especially employees, have access to limited functionality of what Banner provides through sections of the myPSU portal (https://www.pdx.edu/technology/mypsu).
In the course of fulfilling their job duties, many staff and faculty members will need access to more comprehensive Banner forms. This is often needed for dealing with enrollment, grades, payroll, accounts payable, accounts receivable, and financial aid. To do this, you will need to request a Banner administrative account from OIT and use Banner’s direct service site.
