To AVC Students and Employees: A service outage that will affect students and classes, as well as administrative and records database access, is scheduled to begin at 8:00am on Saturday, September 11, 2010 and end by 5:00pm on Sunday, September 12, 2010. Since there is never any good time to perform an extensive system upgrade, we have reviewed all possible windows and identified this weekend as the best possible date for the required upgrades. Affected production systems include the following: While we recognize that Student Services and Academic activities will be affected, we hope that by scheduling the outage for a weekend, fewer students will be affected. We appreciate your patience as we work to improve the availability and reliability of all systems and services.
