CMS Upgrade: December 17-23

An important message for those who make updates on Langara’s website – we will be upgrading the Content Management System (CMS) to the latest version between December 17 to December 23. You won’t able to make any updates during this time (hopefully you will be well into holiday mode by this time, and not glued to your screens). This upgrade will have some back-end improvements that will help it run smoother.

On a related note, we will be offering training sessions in the new year for staff who need to be oriented around the CMS and for those who would like a refresher. The schedule and sign up details will be released in early January.

Feel free to email us at webteam@langara.ca if you have any questions.
