When your Banner session times out, your browser is automatically redirected to the central login page. This login page will also time out after a while, and will not allow you to log in the first time you try. The best way to work around this issue is to refresh the login page before signing in if you have been away from your desk. You may do this by either pressing the “F5” key or by clicking the page refresh icon in your browser.
