As many of you know, BCTC suffered a major power outage earlier this week.  BCTC was informed this afternoon that some necessary system
testing / maintenance has been scheduled for Friday morning, Feb. 28, at 7:00 A.M.   This process will temporarily bring down ALL systems
operated by BCTC from 6:30 A.M. to about 7:30 A.M.    Affected systems will include the College's internet connection, its web pages, Lotus
Notes, Webmail, a wide variety of other servers, and Blackboard, which is expected to be down for a longer period, until about 8:30 A.M.

BCTC staff will be on hand throughout the outage to ensure that all systems are brought back up as soon as possible.  For further updates,
