(Progress notes at end)

Thursday, Dec 23rd at 5 PM until noon Dec 24th is a scheduled information system outage for the Student Information System (Jenzabar J1) and myEMU. EMU will be upgrading Jenzabar One and myEMU. J1 will be unavailable during this time.

myEMU will only be down on the evening of the 23rd. myEMU Outage should start at 5 PM and last until midnight on Dec 23rd.  It may have limited functionality when it is available.

This outage is for J1 and myEMU. EMU payment processing (CashNET) is dependent on J1 and myEMU and will be down some during the J1 outage. PowerFAIDS interface to J1 will not work during the upgrade. Other systems should not be affected.

If you use the J1 client, please quit the client before you end work before Christmas break. If the client is running during the upgrade, you may need to restart your computer after the upgrade for J1 to work correctly.
