Tag: Banner Self Service

Banner is GCC’s primary information management system, and Banner Self Service (BSS) provides you with important resources and tools.

You are responsible for ensuring that personal information about you—namely your permanent address, non-GCC alternate email address, and phone number—is correct and current.

Why will keeping your personal information in BSS updated help YOU?

• If you forget your GCC password, you may use the automated reset tool to set a new password.
• Ensure the paper mailings sent to you are sent to the correct address.

To access Banner Self-Service (BSS), log in to myGCC (GCC homepage—click myGCC link at top-center).  Select the “My Account” sub tab and scroll down for “My BANNER Self Service” menu.  Once in Banner Self Service, click the Personal Information tab.  Click the desired link to update your information—e.g., alternate email address.

You will have an “Employee Menu” option only if you have worked for the college (through College Work Study or other programs). You can use the Banner Self Service link on that page, since it goes to the same place.

To access BSS, log in to myGCC. To get there, first go to the college home page (www.genesee.edu) , click the myGCC link at the top, and log in. Then go to the “My Account” sub-tab and scroll down to the “My BANNER Self Service” module. Click the “My Banner Self Service” link.

Notice the tabs (top) and links available within BSS.  Some highlights:

• Personal Information: It is essential that you update your permanent address and non-GCC email address whenever these change.  GCC relies on this information for important tasks, such as mailing financial aid reward checks and processing self-service “Forgot Your Password” reset requests
• Student Services: This is where you go to register for GCC courses, check your final grades, and run a degree audit
• Pay My Bill: Self explanatory
• Employee Services: This tab is visible to students who hold a position in the college (e.g., Work Study, SSWAP).  You likely will have little or no use for it, but feel free to explore.
• Financial Aid: View your financial award, if applicable.  Check your eligibility for financial awards and for messages from GCC’s Financial Aid Office.
• Xtender: You may ignore this tab.
