In the Spotlight

Online resources unavailable June 25-26

To strengthen the availability of University applications and protect critical data, a generator and an upgraded UPS (uninterruptible power supply) system are being installed at the central Northwestern University Information Technology (NUIT) Datacenter. This project is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. on Saturday, June 25, and end at noon on Sunday, June 26.

The project will result in an unaviodable interruption of online University services for up to 18 hours. This will affect all web based services coming from the sites listed below:
