Information Technology Services will update and test campus firewalls from 6 to 7 a.m. Tuesday, June 26.
The update contains enhancements that will allow the University to leverage additional capabilities of the firewalls, but it will disable Blackboard for two hours — from 5:30 to 7:30 a.m.
Services using the UwinCARD will also be affected, including Food Services, GoPrint, vending machines and laundry in Residence. VPN connections may be unstable during the testing as well.
Direct any concerns about this process to the ServiceDesk at 519-253-3000, ext. 4440.
