We have just received notification that UA’s Blackboard system is down. We are engaging Blackboard Support about this issue.

Between the hours of 11 p.m. June 3 and 5 a.m. June 4, Blackboard, Inc. technicians will be performing maintenance on the data center that serves UA’s instance of Collaborate. During this window, users will potentially experience intermittent connectivity issues.

UA’s instance of Blackboard will be updated starting at 8:30 p.m. May 9. The update is scheduled to be completed by noon May 11. During the update window Blackboard will be unavailable.

Some UA Blackboard users experienced a period of unavailability between 1:18 – 3:37 a.m. April 17. Blackboard technicians are investigating.

Turnitin will be unavailable on March 17th, 2018 between 10am and 4pm for maintenance related to hardware updates and performance improvements.

Blackboard was unavailable from 8:47 am until 8:50 am on Saturday, January 20th due to system maintenance.
