To keep our systems up and running, it is necessary to apply patches, install upgrades, and perform equipment maintenance. We schedule one or two Thursday nights a month starting at 10 pm to do most of this work. Other Thursday nights may be used if the work cannot wait. All systems should be functioning by 6 am Friday morning, if not earlier.

However, if a vital network system is not working well, we may need to take it out of service to repair it outside of our regular time. We will let you know of planned system work and status via announcements on the MyFSU login page, in FerrisConnect, on MyTechSupport News, and/or through email.
