EMU payment processing (CashNET) depends on J1 and myEMU and will be down during the J1 outage. The PowerFAIDS interface to J1 will not work during the upgrade. Other systems may be affected.

If you use J1 Desktop, please quit J1 before 5 PM on Tuesday. If the Jenzabar client is running during the upgrade, you may need to restart your computer after the upgrade for J1 to work correctly.

EMU must upgrade to J1 before the end of September since Jenzabar will not support J1 2023.3 after September 30th.
