The Learn@UW Utility group is performing a number of upgrades in order to ensure stability and reliability in the upcoming academic year. This outage affects all UW campuses statewide (except for UW-Milwaukee).

Tasks include installing a software update from Desire2Learn, a software upgrade to the database system, and a migration of UW-Madison's data to an enhanced storage system.

This project includes items that were previously scheduled to be completed during the July 19th outage which was canceled.

We appreciate your understanding and patience during this outage.
