Web technology outage scheduled for May 21
May 9, 2017
The Office of Information Technology has scheduled a planned outage starting at 4
a.m. Sunday, May 21, to conduct the annual fire alarm safety test. The 14-hour exercise
will result in several brief, intermittent interruptions of access to the UAF website,
UAOnline, Google Apps logins, Blackboard, Banner and other systems.
OIT recommends setting up an alternate login to access your Google Apps @ UA email
account during this outage. Simply set up a Google-side password before the outage
by following the procedure at https://www.alaska.edu/google/password-change/. This password is different from the one you use to access Google Apps with an internet
browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
