Duo Two-Factor Authentication

 
Access Banner 9 Admin

Banner 9 uses a two-step verification system called Duo.  Two-step verification utilizes your William & Mary CAS login credentials PLUS a secondary form of identification (like a code sent to your cell phone or office phone), providing an additional layer of security to the Banner system.

Instructions for enrolling in Duo

After you are enrolled in Duo, you can access Banner Admin by going to the IT Links website (itlinks.wm.edu).  There is a link to Banner Admin Production (aka PROD) on the landing page. Links to other instances of Banner (DEVL, TEST, USER, PPRD, UPGR, and PRJ1) can be found on the left-hand navigation menu.

Banner 9 is also compatible with any type of modern web browser.  You can choose your favorite... Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.  The previous version of Banner (Banner 8) was limited to Internet Explorer; a browser that is not supported for Banner 9.
