Scheduled
Kindly note that University Technology Services (UTS) has scheduled a network maintenance window for Sunday, March 3, from 7:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. During this time, UTS will be applying a security patch to the campus Domain Name Servers (DNS). While we do not anticipate any outage, we wanted to inform you of the activity. It's important to note that properly configured DNS clients (i.e., those with more than one DNS server configured) will not be affected.

Furthermore, the Virtual Private Network platform (VPN or AnyConnect) will be updated to the latest recommended software release to enhance security and resilience. VPN users may experience one or two brief outages during this process, but the VPN client (AnyConnect) will automatically reconnect.
