MyEMU and Jenzabar EX Scheduled Outage

myEMU, Student Information System (Jenzabar EX), Student Information System (SIS)

Saturday, July 16, 8:00 am to Sunday, July 17, 5:00 pm is a scheduled information systems outage for Student Information Systems (EX) and myEMU. We will be installing a major upgrade. EX and myEMU will be unavailable during this time.

We expect the outage to be for only EX and myEMU. No other systems will be affected by this outage, however an unrelated Moodle scheduled outage will be taking place simultaneously on Saturday.

If you use EX and your computer is not shut down during the upgrade, you will need to restart it after the upgrade for EX to work correctly.

If you have questions or concerns please contact the Information Systems Helpdesk: helpdesk@emu.edu or 540.432.4357 (x4357 on the Harrisonburg campus).

Scheduled: Upgrade Moodle to v3.1

Highlights of the new features in v3.1 include:

  • Improvements to assignment grading
