Attention eClass users,

Updated February 2021: due to the delayed start to the Winter 2021 term, the annual eClass major version upgrade will no longer take place during the May outage window. The upgrade will instead take place on June 26th, 2021.

eClass requires regularly scheduled outages to perform necessary updates and maintenance on specific dates designed to minimize the impact on the majority of users.

For the coming year, full 24-hour maintenance windows for eClass and eClassLive are scheduled for the following dates:

   - August 22nd, 2020

   - January 2nd, 2021

   - May 1st, 2021

   - June 26th, 2021 - Major Upgrade

Each 24-hour outage will run from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM unless otherwise posted. eClass and eClassLive will be unavailable for the duration of each of these maintenance windows, so please plan well in advance and do not schedule any tasks that require eClass to be available during these windows.

Please note that this schedule only includes planned maintenance windows, and that eClass may still require emergency outages for shorter durations as necessary throughout the year.

If you have any questions about this schedule, please contact us at eclass@ualberta.ca

Regards,

IST eClass Support
