Reminder - Planned Internet Service Down-Time due to Facilities Electrical Work

Per the message from earlier in the week regarding the 6/13 at 8:00 am power shutdown.

Please be aware the power outage to Shiple Residence Hall this Saturday will impact a number of IT related services.

If you are off-campus, you will be unable to access all University websites such as www.udmercy.edu, knowledge.udmercy.edu, it.udmercy.edu, tc.udmercy.edu, helpdesk.udmercy.edu, facilityrequest.udmercy.edu, collegewebsites.udmercy.edu, courseevaluations.udmercy.edu, Weblink, catalog, schedule, etc.). No e-mail will be sent nor received. Incoming messages may be queued by the sender’s mail server or may result in a non-deliverable message to the originator.

If you are on the McNichols campus you will be able to access University web sites however you will not be able to access the Internet. You will be able to send e-mail but it will be queued and delivered after power has been restored to Shiple. Mail sent on the McNichols campus from a udmercy.edu account to a udmercy.edu account will work fine.

If you are on the Law or Dental campuses, you will not be able to access University websites or the Internet during this time.
