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 Friday, July 20, 6pm – Saturday, July 21, 6am.  There will be changes to the user interface but 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: Blackboard patching is complete and system is active 5 hours ahead of schedule.
