Additional details:

ITS will be upgrading the software on our Network Access Control devices on Sunday, January 12. The initial phase will begin at 12:01 am on the redundant devices, with no noticeable impact to campus.

The second phase of the upgrade will begin at 6:00am and be complete by noon. During the second phase, we expect a short 10-to-15-minute window when people connecting to WiFi, VPN, and some wired connections, might be required to wait a few minutes to fully connect.
