About
In this article we will review how to update Faculty/Advisor information using the SIAINST form in Banner 9.
Environment
Banner 9 Forms in a desktop browser.
Steps
- Navigate to Banner 9 as you normally would.
- At the main screen, type in SIAINST.
- Type in the Campus Wide ID for the person who's record you wish to update.
- Type in the Term you wish to update. Click Go.

- You will be brought to the Faculty Member Base Details screen.
- The From Term is the term at which this change will take effect.
- The To Term is the term at which a future change has been implemented so your change will expire at this time. If there are no future changes it will be all 9s.
- Status must be AC for Active.
- Check to make sure the status date is right.
- Faculty and/or Advisor should be checked as appropriate.
- Check to make sure Category, Staff Type, and Workload Rule are all also correct.

- Once you are confident all your settings are correct, click Next block at the bottom left.


- Now you will be routed to the Faculty Contract page.
- Make sure the From and To terms are correct.
- Note that in this screen the To Term is all 9s. As explained above this means there are no future changes slated and this change will take effect until the end of time.
- Make sure to add at least one semester. I have Fall Only listed. You can insert more terms as well using the Insert button above.
- If more than one term is selected, one must be selected as the "Default Indicator".
- In the Faculty College and Department area if there is more than one, you must select one "Home" AKA default or main. This area is used to assign department chairs for example.

- There is another screen you can next block to, but we are not currently using that screen. Click Save when done at the bottom right.
