Most IT services, including Blackboard, Email and the college web site, will experience temporary and intermittent interruptions. We apologize for any inconvenience this important project may cause.

During the testing phase once the changes were applied, we were able to login to Bb and cycle the power for each of the two servers, all without being logged off of the system.  Bottom line, the likelihood of our students or faculty getting bumped off of the system because of a (single) server issue is greatly reduced.

Thanks to our Bb faculty for allowing us to interrupt your prep time for the Fall session in order to make our system better.
