The Server Modernization Project’s first maintenance date is planned for Thursday, May 25, from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. The work is in line with the University of Windsor’s cybersecurity work plan, which aims to migrate systems to more resilient and secure hardware.

Efforts have been made to limit downtime, however, several key systems and applications will be unavailable during maintenance. Mitigating strategies are being put in place to ensure limited productivity loss during this period.

• Internet (wired and wireless)
• Brightspace
• Microsoft 365 applications including Outlook Email, Calendar, Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint sites
• the University website, uwindsor.ca
