Employee & Student Information Portal: Owl Express (AKA “Banner”)

Owl Express is KSU’s employee and student information portal.

Employee Services

Faculty and staff: Log in to Owl Express and select Employee Services to quickly access parking and vehicle information, update your preferred name, make sure you (and employees you manage) are up to date on required training, and more.

Faculty Services

Faculty: Log in to Owl Express and select Faculty Services to view your course schedules and rosters for each class you teach (including photo rosters of your students). At the end of each term, this is where you will post students’ final grades.

Please note that courses added to your roster by the registrar typically populate in Owl Express several weeks before they appear in D2L. (For students, classes typically appear in D2L on the day of the first class meeting.)

Check out the KSU Registrar's resources for faculty.
