This is the regular 3-times-a-year schedule for applying software updates to the Blackboard LMS. This schedule is not intended to include major releases or version upgrades of Blackboard, but rather the minor point releases, patches, and security fixes that are released by Blackboard on a regular basis. All updates are installed in our Test environment, allowing regression testing and feedback, and then installed to our Production (Live) environment approximately 2 weeks later.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in contributing to the designated testing, please contact Robert Adelson via IT Client Services at (201) 761-7800 or servicedesk@saintpeters.edu<\/a> and an account access will be created for you.<\/p>\n

Urgent updates and alerts are available on the Service Advisory page<\/a><\/p>\n

For calendar year 2019<\/h3>\n
