Get ready for an update! Aurora, a tool many of us use regularly, is undergoing an upgrade from January 5, 2024, at 4 pm, to January 8, 2024, at 8 am. To ensure a smooth transition, here’s what you need to know and do:

How Does This Benefit You?

  • Enjoy a more streamlined and efficient system.
  • Stay compliant with the latest regulations impacting university processes.

During the upgrade, Aurora will be temporarily unavailable. This means no transcript ordering, no enrolment verification ordering, and no registration activities.

    • If you have academic-related concerns, reach out to your academic advisor for guidance.
  1. Handle Fee Payments in Advance:
    • To avoid any account holds, make sure to settle your fees before the shutdown.
    • Payments received during the upgrade will be processed once the system is back.

What’s Unavailable:

  • Aurora document ordering.
  • UM Achieve

What’s Still Available:

  • UM Learn
  • Admissions
  • Academic Calendar
  • Jump
