DoIT staff will be making several changes to the WT2013 Bb server in preparation for archiving/ restoring the WT2013 courses to the UMBC Bb production server. All WT2013 instructors have been notified of these changes by email, and will be reminded again prior to Spring Break. Please make note of these changes as they will affect your ability to access WT2013 courses.

1. As of 2/25 anyone needing to access the WT2013 Bb server from off campus needs to log in to the VPN first.

2. The WT2013 Bb server will be taken completely offline on Friday, 3/15.

3. WT2013 courses will be restored on the UMBC Bb production server by Friday, March 29. Please note that there will be approximately two weeks when WT2013 courses will be completely unavailable to faculty and students. We encourage you to download a copy of your grade center, and any other content that you might need to your local machine. If instructors have students finishing incomplete grades, and students must have continuing access to their WT2013 course over spring break, the instructors should put in an RT ticket request prior to Thursday, March 14.

Thank you for your patience during this transition.
