Scheduled: myEMU and EX

Friday, December 28, 5:30 AM until noon is a scheduled information system outage for the Student Information System (Jenzabar EX) and myEMU. We will be installing a year-end update. EX will be unavailable during this time; myEMU will have limited functionality.

We hope to minimize the amount of time the system is down. Our goal is to minimize disruption for faculty, staff, and students.

We expect to have myEMU available by 9AM.

This outage is for only EX and myEMU. Other systems should not be affected.

If you use the EX client, please quit the client before you leave work for break. If the client is running during the upgrade you may need to restart your computer 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.

This update is necessary so that EMU can issue W2, 1095C, and 1098T reports in January.

Updates:

10 AM 12/28/2018 Both EX and myEMU are available, although the Information Systems department is continuing to test and verify the upgrade.

To use EX you must have the EX 7.2.4 client installed on your PC. The install should happen automatically. If your PC was off during the break, the new version of EX will install a few minutes after your machine is started.
