Original Post

Denison’s Blackboard host (University of Cincinnati – UC) is experiencing Internet connection difficulties this AM. This is resulting in intermittent outages for all hosted Blackboard sites including Denison’s. A brief outage occurred at approx. 9:20AM and lasted for just a few minutes.

If you see a message indicating that “Blackboard is currently unavailable for scheduled maintenance”, the issue is NOT scheduled maintenance but rather Internet connectivity problems. Please wait a few minutes and try to connect again. UC hopes to have a full resolution to this problem soon and updates will be posted here.
