Blackboard will be unavailable after Friday, July 15 at 5pm.  An upgrade will take place over the weekend and you will not be able to access Blackboard until Monday July 18th - 8am.

• During the time that Blackboard (Bb) is unavailable, www.course.maine.edu will point to a page telling people that Bb is down for maintenance. If there are status updates to share we will put them on that page.
• When Bb is returned to service, www.courses.maine.edu will point back to the application. In addition, another email will be sent to let you know it's available.
• During the period following the upgrade, please contact your campus Bb support people at 1-800-696-4357 for assistance with any problems you might encounter.

There will be minimal changes to the user interface so faculty and students alike will not have to learn new ways of working with Blackboard.

Please mark these dates on your calendars, as you will have no access to Blackboard during this upgrade.

Thank you for your patience during this upgrade process.
