• IMPORTANT: Change to how long content remains on Blackboard (Friday, 15 January 2021)
  

  Dear Students,

   

  Due to the increased usage of Blackboard for delivery of online teaching and learning, including increases due to COVID19, storage requirements have grown beyond that which we are licensed.  To manage our storage, Southern Cross staff and students will have access to learning sites and materials for two years from completing each unit and nothing prior.  

  
  

  All previous learning sites and their content, grades, etc, will be archived, removed from learn.scu.edu.au and stored on our internal servers.    You will begin to see this change in the coming weeks.  If you need to retain any content from past teaching periods, please download it as soon as possible.
