Blackboard Components to be Updated 1/5/2015, 2am-6am
Blackboard building blocks will be updated Monday, January 5, 2015, from 2:00am until 6:00am. There will be a brief interruption in access to the components being updated (and any that are related to them), therefore it is recommended that you NOT submit assignments, take quizzes or enter grades during this time.
Note: the Blackboard system WILL still be available during this time.
Additional Information

Please note that Blackboard building block installations and updates are normally scheduled for the 2nd Monday of each month, from 2:00am until 6:00am. (To minimize disruption, this schedule may be adjusted based on critical semester dates.)
