System Maintenance and Downtime Log

Occasionally, WebCT service will be down from 7am to 8am for system reboot or minor bug-fix without notification.

Major system maintenance will be scheduled in January, March and August, during the school break.  Email to webct@etal.uri.edu if you have concerns about the availability of WebCT during system maintenance.

 

July 26-27, August 2-3, and August 9-10, 2008 - intermittent downtime

Due to issues with construction within Tyler Hall, it has become imperative for Media & Tech Services to physically relocate fiber-optic cabling that runs into Tyler and continues on into the central computer room. The process of this relocation will take place over the course of three weekends: July 26-27, August 2-3, and August 9-10. During these days, network connectivity with the Tyler computer room will be sporadic at best. There will certainly be instances where there will be no connectivity at all  to the computer room.  All servers based in the Tyler machine room (Email, Peoplesoft, Oracle Calendar, Network Storage, eCampus, WebCT) will not have stable network connectivity during the maintenance period.
