    CIT rolled out new Banner functionality that allows you to update your biographical and demographic profile online. You will be limited to updating only specific information, including your preferred name, gender identity, personal pronouns, personal phone number(s), personal mailing address (es), and emergency contact(s). Other information, including legal name, will be displayed without update capability.

Please note, it is still your responsibility to submit a complete Ohio IT-4 form to HR when changing your address. This will ensure your school district tax is accurately updated.

    To log in, launch the My Self Service Profile task in OberView and click the Start button in the upper right. We encourage you to log in to review your personal information and enter an up-to-date cell phone number. Entering a cell phone number does not automatically opt you in to receive text messages, but makes it possible for you to opt in for text message reminders when they become available and for the college to send you text messages if necessary.
