SmartSite will be offline for several hours starting late Aug. 12 while Gradebook2 is upgraded to version 1.6.

This is the second planned upgrade to the grading tool this summer. Version 1.5 was installed in mid-June, concurrent with the installation of version 2.7.2 of the Sakai system that powers SmartSite. The upgrades to Gradebook2 fix problems and add capabilities requested by faculty.

Information and Educational Technology has scheduled the work from 10 p.m. Friday, Aug. 12, until as late as 8 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 13. The summer weekend overnight timing minimizes the impact on faculty and students.

Read more about the summer upgrades at the SmartSite home page.

Please direct any questions, comments or problems to the IT Express Computing Services Help Desk, open weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., at 530-754-HELP (4357) or smartsite-help@ucdavis.edu. The operating status of SmartSite is always available at status.ucdavis.edu, and service bulletins will be posted there and at smartsite.ucdavis.edu as needed.
