Support for Retired Blackboard Integrations

To maintain a safe, and efficient learning management system, integrations are periodically reviewed based on use, vendor standards, security and data privacy practices, among other considerations. Third-party tools may be upgraded or retired from the learning management system if they no longer meet compliance requirements, have become redundant, or are in declining use. This page outlines key support guidance to faculty, students, and staff.
