DoIT is pleased to announce the completion of the Blackboard cloud migration.

During the downtime window, Blackboard engineers and DoIt staff migrated nearly 21,000 courses and more than 800 communities to the new cloud infrastructure. Summer courses continue to operate in a separate environment and will be migrated later during the FA2017 semester.

Please note: FA2017 courses will be created during the week of July 17th. If you do not see your course or need to request a new course shell in Blackboard, please review this FAQ.
