How to enter terms in Banner

The “term” field in Banner will be a 6 digit sequence. The first 5 digits refer to the academic year that you are searching for:

• 20089X= 2008-2009 academic year
  19934X= 1993-1994 academic year
  20112X= 2011-2012 academic year

The last digit refers to the quarter that you are searching for:

       0= Summer

       1= Autumn

       2= Winter

       3= Spring

Examples:

• 200901= Autumn quarter of 2009-2010 academic year
  199344= Summer quarter of 1993-1994 academic year
  201122= Winter quarter of 2011-2012 academic year

NOTE: Effective Autumn Quarter 2010, all coding for Summer as the term that ends with a "4" (ie: 200904) has changed to end with a "0" (201120 for Summer 2012).  Summer will now be considered the first term of the academic year rather than the fourth term.
