Infrastructure Maintenance Schedule

In order to keep our infrastructure at top performance, certain systems from time-to-time must be temporarily taken offline for maintenance. To keep service interruptions to a minimum, the College of Communication Data Center has implemented a scheduled maintenance policy for college wide services.
