Banner Student Information Systems Update

Banner Modernization Project 2025-2026 – transforming the experience for the student, faculty and staff

The University of Hawaii Banner Student Information System – the backbone supporting nearly every UH application, system, and service – and its associated systems (i.e. STAR and MyUH Services) will undergo a major update starting in December 2025. It will enhance functionality and better support students, faculty and staff across the 10 campuses. Please refer to the Banner Modernization Project for more information.

Since our Student Information System and related systems will be inaccessible from Wednesday, December 3, 2025 through Friday, January 2, 2026, we recommend that you submit all admissions, counseling, records, and financial aid documents that need to be processed to the respective office by Monday, December 1 at 4:00 pm (HST) to ensure that it is processed before systems are inaccessible.
