Blackboard available at 3:40 p.m.; service action to follow

Blackboard software upgrade is finished at this time. Certain issues are discovered, unfortunately, and we are expecting help from Blackboard Tech Support to resolve these issues. If you notice irregularities while using Blackboard, please report those to IDS or submit Help Desk ticket.

Continue checking this blog, fixing discovered problems in new software will most likely require restart of the Blackboard system with outage in service which will be announced here.

Thank you for your cooperation,
