The next time you log into TUportal, you will see a link to a new resource called Self-Service Banner (SSB). SSB is part of the new student system currently being implemented to replace Temple's aging administrative systems, including OWLnet.

SSB will increasingly become your main gateway for accessing important student information and functions. Currently, you can view your account balance, pay your bill, and update your address and phone number in SSB. Undergraduate, graduate and some professional school students will also use SSB to browse the class schedule and register for summer and fall classes when eligible.

Until the transition to the new student system is complete, you will continue to use OWLnet for a number of other services. Over the next few months, functions such as viewing grades, undergraduate advising session reports, and enrollment verification will continue to be available in OWLnet. Eventually, these services will migrate to SSB.

To learn more about the transition, log into TUportal and look for the Introduction to Banner channel on the Student tab. The channel has a summary of SSB functions, a link to an online tutorial demonstrating the new way to register for courses, and a chart summarizing the migration of OWLnet functions to SSB.

We appreciate your patience and support as we transition to SSB. If you have any questions about the new system, feel free to contact the Computer Services Help Desk via tuhelp.temple.edu or call 215-204-8000.
