Blackboard is available again … now Blackboard SaaS

Blackboard SaaS Migration – Extended until 11AM Sunday, December 22
We are working with engineers at both Blackboard and VCU and hope to get issues fixed before the final deadline of 11AM tomorrow morning (Sunday, December 22), if not sooner. Thanks again for all your patience as we work through this large conversion and all the many nuances that go along with the 20-year-old system.
Blackboard SaaS Migration – Extended until midnight
The migration from Blackboard Managed Hosting to Blackboard SaaS is taking longer than expected and will need to be extended until 12:00 AM, Sunday. Apologies for the delay but this 4-hour extension (beyond the original 8PM handoff) is necessary to ensure optimal configuration under the new environment. Thank you for your patience! Blackboard@VCU
