Shutdown of Computer Systems and Services for Maintenance To all NJIT students, faculty & staff:
The Information Services and Technology Division needs to conduct routine maintenance in the GITC-5302 computer room on our enterprise disk hardware. We have scheduled a shutdown of most major computer systems and services from from 11 pm Saturday March 13, 2010, to 11 am Sunday March 14, 2010.
In the unlikely event of unforeseen problems, we have scheduled an additional shutdown from 11 pm Friday March 19, 2010, to 11 am Saturday March 20, 2010.
You will be able to access our NJIT network to connect to the internet. However, some of the major services we have to disable are Highlander Pipeline, faculty/staff email typically read with MS Outlook, student email, Banner and other web services, and Moodle courseware. Your incoming e-mail messages will be queued at their source and delivered once connectivity to NJIT has been restored. Most internet service providers will attempt to deliver a message for 3 days.
The www.njit.edu web site will be viewable and will display information about the outage. Service startup priority will be given to student related services such as Moodle courseware and student email.
Contact the IST Computing Helpdesk at (973)596-2900 during regular business hours with any questions or concerns not addressed here.
Thank you for your understanding. -IST (Information Services & Technology Division)
