Status Announcements

ITEC will be performing OS and Firmware maintenance on Wednesday July 20th from 12:00am-7:00am. During this time Banner/BearPAWS/BearDeN will be unavailable.

SICAS will install software patches beginning at 5:00pm today which will render Banner/BearPAWS/BearDeN unavailable for approximately 1 hour.

The processes that were necessary to close the fiscal year have been completed. The feed to Finance took longer than expected to run, however it appears to have run without errors. The Business Affairs office will need to validate the financial data before we can mark this issue as resolved with 100% confidence. However, current indicators are that all is working correctly in the Banner Finance and Accounts Receivable modules. Users using those modules should now be able to complete their routine tasks in Banner without incident. Once again, we thank you for your patience during this time.

Issues may still be persisting with Banner Finance and Accounts Receivable, however maintenance will occur tonight after business hours that should rectify all outstanding issues and complete the closing of the fiscal year. A further update will be posted later tonight to indicate the state of the Banner systems. Thank you for your patience.

The closing of the fiscal year in Banner begin on Friday July 1st but technical issues were encountered that prevented the entire process from completing successfully. Work is on-going to resolve the issues and complete the closing process. Users should be aware that Banner Finance and Accounts Receivables functionality may be unavailable while these issues are on-going. Users are advised to refrain from using Banner functionality in those areas until these issues have been resolved. Further updates will be posted as new information becomes available.

The Moodle maintenance announced on Thursday is ongoing. Some processes are taking longer to complete than expected. It now looks like completion will not be significantly earlier than the scheduled 10 am completion time.

The Moodle maintenance announced on Thursday has begun. Moodle will be taken offline shortly. An announcement will be posted when service resumes, which is expected to be 10:00 am today at latest, and possibly much earlier.

Maintenance will be performed on the College’s moodle server this Saturday morning (6/25) beginning at 6:00 am. During the maintenance moodle will be unavailable. Maintenance should be done by 10:00 am and possibly much earlier. Messages will be posted just prior to the start of maintenance and when it is complete. This is in preparation for a migration of our Moodle LMS to a more stable and performant platform later this summer.

The final synchronization of user e-mail from before the Memorial Day outage is now complete. Users may have seen messages that had been moved or deleted since the outage re-appear as a result of this process.
