IT Service Status HubEssential maintenance
There may be times where we need to carry out essential maintenance to ensure continued service and minimise disruptions to students and staff.
During these times, the overall IT system will operate as normal. However, particular services or portions of the network may be taken out of service so that security patches, operating system upgrades and bug fixes can be applied.
IT Services will keep you informed about what work we are carrying out and how it will affect you.
