This summer’s studentcentral upgrade will be overnight on Friday 27th June

Following a successful move to Blackboard Managed Hosting at Easter, we are now in a position to upgrade the Blackboard software to the latest recommended version.

The upgrade will take place between 8pm and 8am overnight on Friday 27th June

Please do not schedule teaching and learning activities in studentcentral, such as online submission of assessments, after 5pm on Friday 27th June or before Monday 30th June as the system may still be considered at risk. We apologise for any inconvenience this causes.
