Scheduled Downtimes
This page announces scheduled maintenance periods and tracks unexpected system downtime for faculty who need to confirm student access.
Scheduled Maintenance
Every Sunday morning between 7:00 am and 12 noon is reserved as a routine maintenance and backup window for Webcourses@UCF. The full downtime window may not be used, so students and faculty may be able to log on before the end of this time period. However, we ask that faculty do not schedule due dates or exams during this maintenance window to ensure student access.
