Blackboard upgrade 2018: no access 14-16 September

Blackboard upgrade rescheduled to 14-16 September

The Blackboard upgrade weekend has been rescheduled for the weekend of 14-16 September. The upgrade will start at 5pm on Friday 14th September and continue throughout the weekend. It is predicted that the Blackboard system will be available again by the morning of Sunday 16th September but it should be considered at risk all day Sunday as well. Staff and students will not be able to access shuspace and Blackboard sites during the upgrade. Therefore please do not schedule teaching and learning activities in Blackboard during this time, including online submission of assessments.

We recognise that this new time will not be as convenient for some teaching programmes, and apologise for any inconvenience this change in the upgrade time causes. As always, the upgrade team will strive to minimise any downtime.

If you have any support needs related to Blackboard please contact your Faculty TEL Advisors.
