On Sunday August 2 between 12:01 a.m. and noon, KU IT is upgrading the version of Blackboard. This maintenance is necessary to prepare for the Fall semester and to keep our system on current supported releases.

Between 12:01 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. there will be a complete outage and users will not be able to login to Blackboard. We expect the system to be available by 8:00 a.m. although maintenance activity may continue until noon. 

Due to a change in Blackboard’s secure login process the mobile app now requires KU users to use single sign-on. If you have used the app recently you may need to re-select the school name in order to login successfully. Step-by-step instructions are below.
 
iOS and Android:
On the app login page, click on the words ‘University of Kansas’. Backspace over to delete them. 
Type ‘kansas’.
Select ‘University of Kansas’.
Click the ‘Web Login’ button.
Click the ‘KU LOGIN’ button.
