Update Schedule
Staff who need assistance with updating will be provided with a loaner MacBook to use during the update process. Updates are anticipated to take between 60 to 90 minutes. If you don’t require a loaner computer during this window, you may use your iPad. If you’ve received the Nudge notification but haven’t attempted an update yet, we highly recommend doing so before your site’s scheduled date. Updating your macOS to the latest version will eliminate the need for your device to be collected for the update.
