Re: [BB] Safe Assign Problems

Bb Users,

Access to Safe Assign has been restored, but due to overwhelming volume, it is running much slower than usual --- both to submit and to generate reports. Blackboard has increased the number of connections available to Safe Assign and bounced the server to restore and improve service. But it is still slower than what we are used to.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Bb Users,

Safe Assignment is not working. I am working with Blackboard to resolve this problem as quickly as possible and will send an update as soon as I have one.

If you have papers that are due this afternoon, you might want to have your students email them to you. We can zip them all and run them through Safe Assignment (via Direct Submit) when it is up and running again.

I will keep you posted, and I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

-Jennifer
