Blackboard Maintenance
As previously announced, Blackboard will be offline and unavailable from August 8 (Tuesday) through August 10 (Thursday).
This outage is necessary to finalize the move from a locally housed version of the learning management system to an instance that is hosted by the vendor. The move to a hosted environment will eliminate the need for future outages since the system can be upgraded or patched without being taken offline. ITS will send an announcement to the campus community on August 10 (Thursday) when the system has been migrated and is once again available.
