SYSTEMS IMPACTED: 

  • External access to systems hosted on campus, such as myPugetSound and network shares, will be unavailable. 

  • All other systems requiring network connectivity on the Puget Sound campus such as physical phones and printers will be unavailable.

  • GlobalProtect VPN will be unavailable. 

  • Inbound and outbound internet access (WiFi and Ethernet) will be unavailable during the maintenance window. 

 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

  • Access to Canvas, email, Google Workspace, the university website (pugetsound.edu), and Zoom phone app will not be affected.
