Update: Blackboard has completed the scheduled infrastructure upgrade to our Production environment. Academic Computing has verified that Blackboard is accessible.
The routine infrastructure upgrade was performed to maintain supported configurations, improve performance and strengthen platform security.
This planned maintenance was completely separate from the unexpected service interruption that occurred earlier in the day on August 19. Blackboard restored the services affected by that interruption later in the evening at approximately 9:38 pm.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding throughout the unexpected service interruption and subsequent planned maintenance. If you have any questions or encounter issues/bugs, please email with the debug code immediately.
Best Regards,
Academic Computing
