• Reminder: Bb 8.0 Upgrade
  The Blackboard servers will go down at 12:15 am on Tuesday, May 6 (immediately after spring semester grades are due) so that UKIT can perform the upgrade; servers should be back up by 8 am on May 6. All Bb Instructors are strongly urged to download the gradebook in their courses as a precautionary backup before the servers go down. "How do I download my gradebook?". The main change in this move to Bb v8.0 is that the Gradebook will become the Grade Center, with an entirely new layout. Learn more about the new Grade Center on the Grade Center Resources page.

• Reminder: Daylight Saving Time Begins in March
  In 2007, the start and end dates for daylight saving time (DST) changed to extend the overall duration. DST will now begin on the second Sunday of March, and end on the first Sunday of November. In 2008 this means DST will begin on March 9, and end on November 2. Please be aware of these changes and make sure that your computer and software applications are fully updated to prevent complications. If you require assistance in insuring your computer is up to date, please contact your local support technician or call the UK IT Customer Service Center at (859) 257-1300.

• Unfortunately Automatic Course ListServs will not be available until further notice. Faculty wishing to create a ListServ for their course will need to request a new ListServ be created at New List Request. The Faculty member will then need to add students to the ListServ, or have their students join the ListServ, prior to posting to the list. For more information on creating and managing ListServs please visit ListServ.
