The University’s firewall hardware upgrade has been rescheduled for Saturday, Jan. 21, from 7 to 10:30 a.m. This will make unavailable University systems, including external interdependent systems and internet access.
The maintenance period should not extend beyond 10:30 a.m. However, if there is an issue, extended outages may occur for some systems. Communication will be shared with the affected system users should the need arise, and updates will be posted on the IT Services System Status and Notification webpage.
The firewall hardware upgrade is necessary for IT Services to maintain UWindsor’s technology infrastructure and data security.
