Downtime & Maintenance Schedule
Planned
Planned downtime and maintenance is a scheduled time and date when a system may be limited or unavailable to allow for maintenance, upgrades, repairs or testing. Where possible, the Digital Education Systems Team works with vendors to effectively manage downtime and maintenance so that it occurs when disruption will be minimal. One of the ways we communicate planned downtime/maintenance is through news posts on this site. Published dates are subject to change.

Service Disruption
There may also be times when users may experience an unexpected service disruption, this usually affects some (rather than all) of the functionality of a system suddenly. When we become aware of disruptions to service, one of the ways we communicate this is through service disruption news posts on this site. We follow up with updates once issues are resolved.
