Earlier today (approximately 11:30am) approximately 3,300 students using the Course Evaluations system erroneously received multiple email notifications for courses they have already dropped due to the vendor experiencing technical issues. The issue has been resolved and no evaluation data was lost. Any evaluations that may have been incorrectly completed during this incident have been removed.
ETS and the vendor, Explorance, are working to ensure this problem does not happen again. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The 2014-2015 academic year was an exciting and challenging year for the ETS team. Throughout the last year ETS has utilized knowledge and know-how in both educational and information technology pedagogy to provide the campus with technology to support Academic Integrity, a new User Advisory Group, and innovate teaching and learning collaboration tool, and more.
ETS is proud of its accomplishments and looks forward to the opportunities the next year holds.
In some bCourses Assignments with Turnitin enabled, Originality Check reports are not being automatically generated when a student submits their work. Canvas and Turnitin are currently working on a resolution to this issue.
This is a status message to inform users that bCourses is currently operational and has recovered from the system outages last week that affected access and the functionality of tools.
If there are any issues, we will post a new news alert. Thank you for your patience!
Given the network service interruptions this past weekend, ETS is extending the deadline for bSpace course owners and project site owners to access their content to Wednesday, October 21st. We want to ensure instructors and project owners have enough time to address their content retrieval needs in case the downtime affected their plans. The original deadline was the end of September. The extension will provide an additional 3 weeks for bSpace content retrieval.
There was an issue that prevented some users who have a CalNet Guest Collaboration account from logging into bCourses from 8 AM Monday, September 21, until 12:30 PM Tuesday, September 22. This issue has been resolved. Please contact bcourseshelp@berkeley.edu if you are still having issues accessing bCourses.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
