Blackboard Maintenance – January 7-9, 2018
The San Jacinto College Blackboard system will be unavailable during the period of January 7, 2017 at 12:01am through January 9, 2017 at 11:59 pm for system maintenance, as scheduled in the Academic Calendar. During this maintenance window the following actions will be taken:
- Upgrade Blackboard operating system. This upgrade will affect back end processes used for system administration and will not change Blackboard functionality for users.
- Enable the New Box View (replacement for Croc-o-Doc). For more information about New Box click here.
Additional details will be announced as they become available.
STEPS YOU SHOULD TAKE PRIOR TO JANUARY 7, 2017
- Faculty should take time to archive copies for each of your courses. This process will create a permanent record of the course, including all content and user interactions. Archived copies of courses should be kept in a secure location like your SJC H:\ drive folder. You may find this End of Semester Checklist handy for details on archiving your course(s).
- Be sure to watch the following locations for future updates and information on the Blackboard upgrade plan and training opportunities.
