Upgrade of Blackboard server hardware. Outage will most likely last from 6am to 9am. However, if unpredicted problems arise (which we believe is unlikely) additional time will be required. For this reason we have indicated the outage end time to be noon. Current status during the outage will appear on the Critical Information notice visible on the EMU home page.
