I viewed a course in WebAdvisor, but when I look for it in Self Service Banner, I don't see the same course number. Why?
- The systems code courses differently. To find your course in Self Service Banner, simply add "00" to the last two digits of the WebAdvisor course code.
For Example, English 101-College Writing 1:
WebAdvisor: The course appears as ENG-101
Self Service Banner: The course appears as: ENG-10100 - To make sure you are accurately registering in the desired course, verify the course name.
