The maintenance is now complete. Thanks for your patience.

Underway

The scheduled maintenance is now underway. We'll keep you updated on our progress.

Scheduled

We’re upgrading the University’s datacentre firewall firmware, during which time there will be a brief interruption to all connections to and from services behind the datacentre firewall for roughly 15 seconds.

Upgrading the University’s datacentre firewall firmware further protects our internal IT systems and services from malicious threats and unauthorized access.

If you experience connection interruptions during the maintenance window, please wait a few minutes and then retry.

If you experience connection problems after the maintenance window, contact Help4U.

While we don't expect any issues, sometimes unexpected things happen. We'll update this post with progress.
