How does the Application Upgrade affect my area?

In general, the application and server upgrade requires testing from users as the application is upgraded. For some of the upgrades, there will be an outage during which the server and application will not be available. These details will be communicated with your area (as needed) prior to the upgrade to schedule testing and the outage period.

If you have not been contacted and would like to discuss any details, or if you have other questions/concerns regarding the anticipated upgrade dates, please email Redhatapps@bgsu.edu and a member of the project team will get back to you.
