Ultra Transition Lessons:
Based on the first phase of the Ultra transition in Fall 2024, we learned:
Instructors requesting to convert to Ultra via this Course Copy/Restore form should expect significantly longer wait times (multiple days? could be specific).
Courses converted to Ultra via this Course Copy/Restore form result in more conversion issues and remediation time needed by instructors.
Recommended Alternative:
Rebuild your upcoming Ultra course using Copy Content and other course building tools with inside HuskyCT. This will result in:
Faster copying of course materials into your HuskyCT Ultra course site.
Fewer Ultra conversion issues.

Converting an existing Original course to Ultra is only recommended for users who have a detailed understanding of the conversion process, and are only converting small, simple courses that do not use many Blackboard features. It is the experience of the LMS team that users who converted their Original courses to Ultra experienced more issues than those who built there courses from scratch. Therefore, this is not a recommended process for most users. However, the guide below documents the process should you decide that you would like to do this. Conversion Guide for Ultra Course View
