IT provides centralized computer account services to UM faculty and staff including:
- Banner Accounts
Banner is the software used by UM to manage all University-related financial and student databases. To establish a Banner account, a user must first complete Banner Basics, a navigation class designed for all new Banner users. Account forms are distributed at the conclusion of the class. To register for Banner Basics, other Banner Finance and Student classes, as well as to view additional on-line Banner resources, please visit the Banner Support website at: http://bannersupport.umt.edu. Users may also call the Banner Help Line at 243-BNNR (2667) for assistance.
- Official University email Accounts
The University's official email service operates on a Microsoft Exchange environment. The Exchange server allows employees to store email, use a calendaring system, schedule meetings, organize tasks, maintain contact details, and access shared resources. To establish an official email account, users must complete an Individual Computer Account Request Form available at IT Central or via the web. Some departments use their own departmental platforms for email, so users should check with their departmental technical support staff to determine which email system best fits their needs.
- Official University email Addresses (Umontana addresses)
This address is the official means of electronic communication between employees and the University. Important University business is conducted via this address including UM business-related information and announcements from the President to employees of UM. This address, generated through Banner, is in the following form: Firstname.Lastname@umontana.edu. Users must activate the Umontana address through CyberBear. Please see the Umontana address web page for activation instructions.
- UM Domain Accounts
Employees may need to establish UM domain accounts in order to access campus resources such as shared folders, network printer access, or access to particular software. To obtain a UM domain account users must complete an Individual Computer Account Request Form. This form is also available at IT Central in Social Science 120, 243-HELP (x4357).
