We wanted to inform you that there have been delays in the updates of Lived Names from UCPath to Berkeley over the weekend. As a result, it may take a few days for your name data from UCPath to be displayed accurately in the campus directory or in campus applications like bMail.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this process. Our teams are working closely with UCPath Center to resolve this issue as quickly as possible.

UCPath System is back online this morning, and the upgrade is complete.

UCPath has reported a periodic error message that may occur for transactors. The error message can be bypassed by clicking okay to continue. UCPath is working with Oracle to have this issue resolved.

Please review the resources below for clarity on the UCPath Upgrades going into effect on June 20.
