IT Services will be carrying out a series of essential maintenance activities on the University network and Data Centre during December

This will result in downtime to the Wi-Fi, wired network and most key services hosted in the Data Centre between 07:30 and 08:30 on the following days:

  • Thursday 05 December
  • Friday 06 December
  • Wednesday 18 December

How does this affect me?

The work is scheduled to take place between 07:30 and 08:30 am and will impact both the Loughborough and London campuses. Users will experience periods where there will be a loss of access to:

  • Network connectivity – Wi-Fi and wired service
  • Most University online services
  • VPN connectivity for users off-campus

Services will be available from 08:30 am, however, there is a risk of instability until 10:30 am.

The level of disruption and experience may be different on each day.

Where can I get more information?

Service status updates are available on the IT Service Availability page, with guidance on other ways to connect during a network outage: Service Availability | IT Services | Loughborough University
