WebCT Upgrade May 18

WebCT will be unavailable between 6:00AM and noon on Sunday, May 18th, while the WebCT software is upgraded. The WebCT software will be upgraded from CE 6.2.2 to CE 6.3.0, which has been renamed as CE 8.0 to achieve product line synchronicity. This version is primarily a bug-fix version, and introduces few new features.

Major known issues addressed by the upgrade:
* New item notification will be re-enabled
* Sections with group sign-up sheets can be copied
* Student view tab issues have been resolved
* Issue with due dates occurring on the new Daylight Saving Time change dates has been resolved

Updates will be posted here and on the IR Outages page.

Instructors- Do you need student data from a previous semester in WebCT?

Student data (assignments, tests, grades, etc) is still available to you from previous semesters in WebCT as long as you still have access to the course. If you do not see the course/semester you need listed on your Course List or on your hidden courses list, please email webct@utdallas.edu. We will need to know the course number, section number, and semester that you need to access. If you have access to the course and semester you need, these instructions will help you access the student data.
