What is the impact?
Users will have no or intermittent access to PG Moodle during this maintenance.
We do not expect any problems once PG Moodle is back online, however any maintenance comes with a risk of unexpected issues. Please be patient if this happens, we will be working to ensure it causes as little disruption as possible.
What should I do?
If you will need access to anything from PG Moodle during this period you can prepare for this before PG Moodle is taken offline:
- If you will need course materials, you can export the relevant Moodle books to a Microsoft Word or PDF file. For instructions, please see the PG Moodle Guide Book, which is available in the Student Support area.
- If you have not already done so, you can download and save the feedback for any submission as a PDF file. Information on how to do this is available in Turnitin and Feedback Studio Guide in the Student Support area.
