The intention of this tutorial is to help you become comfortable with the new Banner Self Service. We will take you step-by-step through several functions, including finding your new UNC Charlotte ID and password. You have probably noticed that the new Self Service site looks a little different from the old version. All of the functions including registration, checking grades, and checking financial aid are still available. Unlike the old system, these functions will now be accessible at all times, unless the University is performing system maintenance. We will update this tutorial periodically with answers to frequently asked questions and step-by-step instructions for additional tasks. Submit any additional questions to the Helpdesk Online at http://magic.uncc.edu.
