Dear members of the Puget Sound community,

Technology Services (TS) has planned the following maintenance activities. Details on the maintenance being performed are available below:

myPSApps: Planned Maintenance

Wednesday, June 17 | 7–8 a.m.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW:

• mypsapps.pugetsound.edu will be unavailable from both on-campus and off-campus during the maintenance window. 

• This maintenance does not affect myPugetSound.

• Because the IP address of the web application will be changing, it is possible that systems may try connecting to the old IP address even after the change which will cause errors. Usually, this will resolve itself within 24 hours. However, if you have issues accessing the site after the maintenance window is complete, you may try flushing the DNS cache on your device. 

SYSTEMS IMPACTED: 

• mypsapps.pugetsound.edu 

• Customizations on TS Support Portal

• Bulletin content generator

REASON FOR MAINTENANCE:

• TS will be moving the server hosting this web application into a dedicated network zone on the firewall. This improves network security by segregating public-facing servers from the internal network and allowing more granular controls.

For more information on Technology Services' Incident Communication Plan or to view a list of our Critical Systems and definitions, please visit our Service Announcements page on the Puget Sound website.

Thank you for your patience as we conduct this important work. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact the TS Service Desk.
