Apple is releasing macOS 11 Big Sur as an optional upgrade today, November 12.
Because our antivirus software is not yet compatible with Big Sur, please postpone upgrading any College-owned Macs until an antivirus software upgrade is available.
For your personal Macs, to ensure you do not experience an interruption of service, please confirm that your files are backed up, and that your software and hardware are compatible with macOS 11 Big Sur before upgrading.
Our Big Sur page has the latest information about known software incompatibilities such as the pending antivirus software upgrade. All classroom Macs will remain on macOS 10.14 Mojave for the rest of Term 2.
