BOLT Experiencing Performance Issue

BOLT and its D2L counterparts at other PASSHE universities are currently experiencing performance issues. During this time, students and faculty may experience slowness and an intermittent response time from the MyCourses widget. You can still access your courses by using Select a course… at the top of the BOLT homepage.

D2L is actively working to resolve this issue. Please email bolthelp@bloomu.edu if you have any questions.

Thank you for your patience. We will continue to provide updates.
