Upgrading TopNet to Banner 9
WKU TopNet will be upgrading to Banner 9 during Fall, 2025. While this is an institution-wide initiative led by WKU Information Technology Services, this page is dedicated specifically to how the upgrade will impact Human Resources processes. Key areas affected will include TopNet employee self-service, leave reporting, and EPAFs.
This site will serve as the central source for updates and training materials related to HR-specific changes. We invite you to explore the content to better understand how these updates may affect your HR-related tasks, and encourage you to visit regularly as new updates become available.
