UNO Moves Blackboard to Managed Hosting

At the end of the Spring 2016 Semester, UNO will be the third University of Nebraska campus to migrate Blackboard support to a managed hosting service model. UNO’s Blackboard application will be moved to an external data center hosted by Blackboard.

When will the change to Blackboard Managed Hosting occur?

As part of the migration, the Blackboard application will be unavailable starting Wednesday, May 11. The project team estimates the application be available again on Saturday, May 14th, but will restore the service as soon as possible.

What does this mean for spring grading?

The Blackboard outage overlaps with spring semester final grading so Information Services (IS) recommends downloading any files you will need during the transition, including the full Grade Center, prior to May 11th. If you make changes to your local copy of the Grade Center, you will need to upload these files once the new system is operational.
