ITS Alerts: Portal Maintenance on August 15, 2013

By Tim Borfitz on August 15, 2013

Overview

We are making numerous improvements to the portal which require us to take down the service. These changes include:

1). ITS will add back convenience links to the Welcome tab. These links include EMS, Calendars, Directory, Libraries, Moodle and Colgate’s Home Page. Feedback from the campus community informs us that the convenient links, found on the left-hand navigation of the old portal, were very helpful.

2). We are giving all employees access to the student employment tab.

Impact

The portal will be unavailable beginning at 12:15pm today for approximately 45 minutes. During this period portal services will not be available. While not part of this maintenance window, the Campus Announcements portlet will be added back to the portal prior to the start of the semester.

Time Frame

The upgrade will take place from 12:15pm – 1:00pm on Thursday, August 15, 2013.

Affected Users

All users of Colgate’s portal including faculty, staff, students and applicants.

Things you can do

After 1:00pm, if you are unable to access the portal, close your browser software and try again. Please contact the Helpline 315.228.7111or helpline@colgate.edu if you are unable to access the portal at 1:00pm.
