Brightspace Implementation Timeline
UCM's Blackboard contract will expire on June 30, 2025. As a result, all online courses
will be migrated to D2L's Brightspace as the sole Learning Management System supported
by UCM. Moving forward, starting with Summer 2025, UCM courses will no longer be available
within Blackboard. Early Brightspace adopters (roughly 25 UCM faculty who will use Brightspace to deliver at least one course) have been identified for the fall 2024 semester. Instructor choice will be available in the Spring 2025 semester. The full transition to Brightspace will begin in the Summer of 2025.
For comprehensive updates and information on UCM's transition from Blackboard to Brightspace, including important dates, migration details, and training sessions, visit our LMS Transition Updates and Information page.
