    ADMNET Account

    The Oakland University ADMNET Computing Account provides access to the administrative domain and is designed for use by administrative employees. Oakland University constituents need to login to a domain to obtain access to services, shares, and privileges.

    Once you have requested and obtained an account, your confirmation form will contain information to help you get started in using available services:

    • Access to SunGard Banner Forms
    • Access to print SunGard Banner data
    • Access to shares for ADMNET users

    OPENNET Account

    Oakland University constituents need to login to a domain to obtain access to printer services, shares, and other network privileges. By default, employees should obtain an OPENNET account. If you need access to SunGard Banner, you should not obtain an OPENNET account, but an ADMNET account instead.

    SunGard Banner Account

    Active OU faculty and administrative staff who, as part of their duties, need access to university information in the SunGard Banner system may obtain an account.

    When all form completion requirements are met, access is granted. The User Access Rules form and the original Account Request Form are kept securely on file University Technology Services office.

    Access to the SunGard Banner system is governed by strict guidelines. Oakland University takes measurable steps to ensure that information is protected and that those with access to information understand the rights and privacy of all constituents of the university.

    Banner accounts are terminated following this Termination Process.

    If multiple modules are requested, forms should be routed first to the Finance Project Team Leader, then to the HR Project Team Leader and then to the Student data owners as needed for signatures. All completed forms should then be mailed to:
