The SUNY Learning Network has officially announced a hold on migrations from ANGEL to Blackboard for all ITEC-hosted campuses; therefore, it is necessary for Buffalo State to upgrade ANGEL to its current version. ANGEL will be unavailable from 12:01 a.m. Wednesday, August 15, until 11:59 p.m. Thursday, August 16.

During these two days, ANGEL will be completely unavailable. No one will be able to log in to ANGEL. Faculty and students will not be able to enter, view, retrieve, or download grades. There will be no access to drop boxes or submitted papers, projects, or exams. Students will not be able to submit papers, projects, or exams to drop boxes or to take assessments, exams, or course evaluation surveys through ANGEL during this time.

Faculty members who use ANGEL can prepare now by reviewing syllabi and taking note of dates that require students to use ANGEL between August 15 and August 16.

Student paper and assignment submissions: Tell students to submit papers to you directly via Buffalo State e-mail.

Faculty grading: Before Wednesday, August 15, print out a copy of your ANGEL grade book and export a copy to Excel, so that you have access to grades outside of ANGEL.

Faculty accessing assignments stored in ANGEL: Before Wednesday, August 15, export all drop-box submissions and save them to a flash drive or to your computer's hard drive.

ANGEL v.8 will provide support for both Safari and Chrome web browsers. Users will not see a change in their daily use of ANGEL; the interface remains the same. This version also provides new feature enhancements.
