Automatic Migrations

Sites submitted for an automatic migration path received their assigned cohort group and migration via email on July 10, 2024. 

Where to find your dates:

  1. Email Inbox: You can search your email inbox using one of the following data points from the email:
    • By subject line: 鈥淎ttention: Migration date for colorado.edu/  | Web Express Migration 2024鈥
    • By date: July 10, 2024
    • By sender email: websupport@colorado.edu
  2. Calendar Invites: We are sending calendar invites for each cohort to mark the start of your migration window.

Reschedule Options & Criteria

If your assigned migration window impacts your department/unit's business needs, you may request a reschedule.

Due to the large number of migrations and the scale of the effort, we have carefully assigned sites to specific cohort groups and dates to ensure service integrity and support.

Rescheduling is only considered for:

  • Significant business impact (e.g., application or transaction deadlines).
  • Conflict with a major event your unit is hosting.
  • The primary site manager is out and unavailable to perform the migration review.

As part of the request, we will need the contact information of your department chair/director or site team authority for approval confirmation.
