Please mark your calendars. On Saturday, March 8, from 7:00 a.m. until noon, the wide area network switches will be upgraded. This date marks the beginning of Spring Break, so we expect minimal impact. Since midterm grades are due on Monday, March 10, we are starting the communication campaign early.
During the upgrade, access to UM sites will be affected as follows:
– If you are off-campus, UM Mail (exchange), myOleMiss, Blackboard and other UM websites will be inaccessible. However, UM Gmail and UM Box will be accessible.
– If you are on-campus, UM Gmail, UM Box and any other off-campus websites will be inaccessible while UM Wi-Fi, UM Mail (exchange), myOleMiss, Blackboard and other UM websites will be accessible.
If you have additional questions, please contact the IT Helpdesk at 662-915-5222 or helpdesk@olemiss.edu.
