During Summer 2024, DoIT staff and Blackboard will archive our entire instance of Blackboard, which will save individually backed-up copies of every course and organization through SP2024. Courses offered before and including AY20-21 will be retired by the end of SU2023. 

Beginning June 1, courses offered from the following terms will be scheduled for retirement:
  • Any courses older than five years
  • Fall 2020
  • Winter 2021
  • Spring 2021
  • Summer 2021
The Blackboard system's overall performance and efficiency will improve by removing files and database transactions from the content server and database. AY21-22, AY22-23, and AY23-24 will remain on the server. Fall 2024 will begin a new academic year of data retention (AY24-25).

FAQs about Course Retirement

Is my content gone forever?
No, Blackboard archived courses captured all course data, files, student submissions, discussions, grades, etc. through SP2024. These archives will reside on a secure cloud storage location.

When will I lose access to courses that are being retired?
The archiving process will begin on June 1st. Faculty can place an RT ticket to have their course content restored through November 2024. 

Can I save a copy of my own courses?
Yes -- and it is strongly encouraged! Instructors can export (course content) and/or archive (course content & student data) their courses. You should also download a copy of your gradebook. We recommend saving these files to UMBC's cloud storage to ensure long-term access in the event you change computer systems.

Can I restore (regain access to) only course content?
Yes. Course content consists of files and course structure (menu, folders, etc.). Faculty can only import course content to an existing Blackboard course shell. Please submit a RT request for assistance importing an exported course file.

Can I restore course data?
Course data consists of student submissions, discussions, and grades. We generally prefer not to restore full courses to avoid reinstating user accounts and confusing students with old content. If you must restore archived course data, please open an RT ticket with justification included.

How long will you keep the retired courses?
We will keep the retired courses for approximately 2 years after Blackboard archives the courses. Faculty who may need content beyond 2 years should plan to save copies of their exported courses to UMBC Box or other cloud storage.

As always, if you have any questions about teaching, learning, and technology, please consider the following options:

The 2024 Campus Climate Survey was launched! Information gathered from the survey will be used to inform our ongoing education, prevention, and response work, and is an important component in campus-wide efforts to stop, prevent, and remedy the effects of sexual misconduct at UMBC.

 

All students who complete the survey will be entered into a drawing to win one of ten $25 UMBC Bookstore gift cards.

 

You can access the online survey here. The survey will be open from Thursday, May 2, 2024 until Thursday, May 16, 2024 and will take about 15-25 minutes to complete.

 

This survey is anonymous and confidential. After completing the Campus Climate Survey, you will be prompted to enter your name and email address in a separate voluntary survey to enter for a chance to win one of the gift cards.

 

Content note: This survey asks some questions about personal experiences with sexual and interpersonal violence. Some of the language used in this survey is explicit and direct and may be triggering or uncomfortable for some participants. Information on how to get help, if you need it, appears before and after the survey and is available on the ECR website.

 

Thank you in advance for your participation!

Albin O. Kuhn Library will be switching to a new Integrated Library System (ILS) on May 23, 2024. Certain library functions will be paused from May 17 at 5 PM until May 23 at 7 AM in order to prepare.

  • Why is the pause happening?
We are upgrading our library software at the end of May. The system’s data must be prepared for export and then migrated to the new software.

  • Can I still check out and return things during the pause?
Yes, you will be able to check out and return library materials, although you will not see checkouts and returns reflected on your library account immediately. Late fines will not accrue during the pause, but you will still be responsible for lost items and damage fees. You must bring your campus ID to check out materials from May 17 to May 23.

  • Can I still request a laptop during the pause?
No, you will not be able to request laptops during the pause. You can still check out laptops from the Circulation desk; call us at 410-455-2354 to learn what’s in stock.

  • Can I check out a room key or calculator during the pause?
Yes, you will be able to borrow specialty room keys, calculators, and headphones from the Circulation desk. Please bring your UMBC card with you.

  • Can I request something from another USM campus (e.g., a book from College Park) during the pause?
No, you will not be able to request books/other materials from USM campuses. Requests made through ILLiad will function as usual.

  • Can I request a book or DVD from UMBC for local pickup?
No, this process will be turned off during the migration. Books and media will be available in the library’s open stacks. If you need an accommodation to retrieve materials, contact us at circdept@umbc.edu.

  • I requested a book before the pause and it’s still in process. Where is it?
Please contact Circulation at circdept@umbc.edu or 410-455-2354 for updates on any in-progress hold requests.

  • I returned something but it’s still on my account. Why?
Items returned between May 17 and 23 will still show on your account even if they’ve been returned. If an item is still on your account on May 28, contact us at circdept@umbc.edu.

  • I’m graduating and have a question about library fines. Who do I talk to?
Please get in touch with the Circulation department at circdept@umbc.edu for time-sensitive financial matters.

  • Can I still get a Special Borrower card?
No, we cannot add any Special Borrowers during the pause. Please sign up for your card before May 17 at 5 PM or wait until May 23.
