Blackboard engineers will perform a server update on Wednesday morning, February 4, 2015 from 2 AM - 4 AM. Blackboard will be offline during this period.
During this downtime, our system will be updated with the latest patch and application servers adjusted to fully align our system with standard tuning parameters. In doing so, the irregular time zone behavior observed by some users will be reset to Eastern Standard.
In preparation for this downtime:
- Instructors: Please refrain from assigning any work that is due on Blackboard during this maintenance window. When the system is offline, students cannot submit their work.
- Students: Please be sure to save or submit any work before this time. Any unsaved or unsubmitted work will immediately be lost when the system shuts down.
After Blackboard is back online, please clear your Internet browser cache and cookies before logging in using these step-by-step instructions. We appreciate your patience as we continue to improve our systems to bring you a better Blackboard experience.
