Outage Notification:
A full power shutdown will take place on campus on Friday, May 19 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. to perform annual preventative maintenance, repairs and service on the campus power system.
During the outage, generators will provide power to Daly Dining Hall, General Services and West House.

Additionally, the college's primary Datacenter and Network Processing equipment will remain up. What that means, is that while most buildings on campus will not have any connectivity, the college's web presence will not be affected. Off campus users will still be able to access the website, Banner, Canvas etc. Please note that phones on campus will not be functional during this time.

This change should not cause any noticable disruption and will ensure that we are using the latest and strongest encryption available to protect the information of our faculty, staff and students.
