Scheduled Network Outages

Weekly standard network maintenance schedule, established September, 2001: The Office of Information Technology has standardized the maintenance schedule for the campus network to a three-hour time period on Sunday mornings between 12:01 a.m. and 3 a.m. We will notify the campus when interruptions are scheduled through our usual distribution methods. Depending on the work that needs to be done, different portions of the campus network and/or services such as e-mail, Web access, ftp, telnet and network authentication may be unavailable during this period in any given week. We will not use this window of opportunity every week; however, we caution university departments and colleges not to schedule any routine mission critical operations that rely on the network or related services during this time period.
