Your My.UNL team will use this time to upgrade our My.UNL system from Blackboard version 8.3 to Blackboard Learn, Version 9.

Diruption of Blackboard Service

My.UNL was unavailable from 8:20pm - 9:50pm CST on the evening of 11 November. UNL's Blackboard service was unable to respond to legitimate connections because it was flooded by traffic from an off-campus address. We apologize for any inconvenience to you and we are actively investigating the source of the DoS attack.

Spring 2010 Blackboard Courses Available

Your Spring 2010 courses are now available on http://my.unl.edu. If you are teaching a class that you do not see on Blackboard, please contact your department and have them make sure you are listed as the instructor of record for that course. Once Registration and Records has you listed as the instructor of record, the course will load into your Blackboard account.

None of your students have been enrolled in your Spring courses, we will be loading student data in a few weeks.
