Planned outages
A regular weekly maintenance window exists to allow periodic preventative work to be undertaken on the University's IT systems. This time also allows minor updates and changes to be made to systems.
In addition, quarterly maintenance weekends have been identified to allow more significant and disruptive activities that require greater time to occur.
It should be assumed that no systems will be available during both weekly and quarterly maintenance periods.
Occasionally additional periods of service outage may be arranged in order to implement significant changes to systems within additional time constraints. These periods will be negotiated and announced to the University community.
Maintenance windows (weekly)
- Tuesday 4–8am
