Maintenance for the Ally system

Scheduled Date: Apr 18, 2026 8:00 AM

Blackboard Ally will be undergoing scheduled maintenance to make updates to the Ally databases. Ally’s functionality will remain available for all existing content, but new content will not be processed until the end of the maintenance window. As part of this maintenance, expect a brief downtime period of up to 5-10 minutes during which the Institutional Report, Configuration UI and Course Accessibility Report will be unavailable and the Instructor Feedback and Alternative Formats will not be displayed within courses.
