For information: scheduled annual network resiliency testing
Sunday 21 September

To ensure a continued stable and secure network operation on all our
campuses, the Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
Communications Services team is scheduled to perform its annual campus
network resiliency testing between 6 am and 3 pm on Sunday 21 September.
This testing supports our University strategy of a better place to work
and a place that works better.
 
When and what?

Testing is scheduled to occur between 6 am and 3 pm on Sunday 21
September and will affect network access on all campuses (please note
that testing may conclude earlier). Some people on campus may experience
a brief interruption to network access of up to 30 minutes (wired and
Wi-Fi networks).
