In order to install patches and maintenance software on the UR Blackboard servers yet minimize impact on usage, the system will be unavailable during an early morning upgrade on Thursday, August 4, 1am – 8 am.  The user interface will not change and all course content will still be available after the work.  Please schedule your UR Blackboard usage accordingly and contact us at blackboard@richmond.edu with any questions or concerns.

UPDATE: the upgrade has been completed 2 hours ahead of schedule, and UR Blackboard is now available for regular usage.  Again, please contact us at blackboard@richmond.edu with any questions or concerns.
