Campus wide internet outage – April 9, 2025

Description

Update: 4/10/25 11:25 AM

MOREnet informed us that our second route has been repaired. UMSL once again has fully redundant routes for campus internet connectivity.

Update: 3:48 PM

Internet service to UMSL has been restored. MOREnet has confirmed that repairs have been completed to one of our routes – fortunately, ahead of the original estimate.

MOREnet estimates the repair to our second route will occur tomorrow, 4/10/25. This will restore redundancy to our campus connectivity.

Update: 3:15 PM

www.umsl.edu and https://mygateway.umsl.edu/ are now accessible from off campus

Engineers continue to work on the route to campus

Update: 2:15 PM

MOREnet, our Internet provider for campus, has given an estimated time for restoration (ETR). They anticipate one of our two “routes” to be restored this evening between 6 pm and midnight. This will return Internet to UMSL.

We will continue to post updates here and email meaningful updates as we learn more from MOREnet through the afternoon and this evening.

If you are off-campus or using a mobile hotspot from your phone, many UMSL resources are available to you. We have provided some direct links below.
