Maintenance scheduled through the end of the year will affect Blackboard Learn, the campus network and other services.

On Saturday, Dec. 16, MyDocs, Gizmo, SharePoint and other services relying on the SQL server will be briefly interrupted during routine Windows Server maintenance.

Campus internet in Bell Engineering Center will be unavailable for three and a half hours during a power outage on Wednesday, December 20.

Campus firewall upgrades are scheduled on Dec. 18, 20 and 22. Although no outages are expected, access to the internet and data center resources could be interrupted shortly after 8 a.m. for up to 5 minutes.

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the campus, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse … or Blackboard Learn. The service will be unavailable for up to 24 hours during extended maintenance starting 11 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 24. Students, faculty and staff will not be able to access Blackboard Learn during this time. Happy Holidays!
