Amarillo College is getting a new website. According to an email from college relations, the new design will be responsive to to monitors of every size, including phones, tablets and laptops, and will enhance the user experience.

The entire website, www.actx.edu, will be inaccessible from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. while the transition is completed. The process will not affect Google Apps, Google or Outlook email, AC Connect Classes (Blackboard), and most functions available within the portal, said Lee Colaw, chief information officer, in an email.

“A few applications may be intermittently affected, such as “Forms,” for a few minutes; but no prolonged disruptions are foreseen,” Colaw said.

To access Blackboard during this time, use the link, http://acconnect.actx.edu.

“I would encourage you to bookmark this link in your browser for future reference,” Colaw said.
