Thanks to campus and system-level financial support, ITS is in the process of implementing a campus-wide infrastructure refresh as part of our efforts to improve Wi-Fi performance. This is a multi-phase project with an expected projected completion date of August 2025.

During the week of May 12, we will be upgrading Founders Residence Hall and Pennyroyal.

During the transition for each building, laptops, tablets, and phones should automatically switch to the new Wi-Fi after a possible brief interruption in service.

Please be aware that Parking Lot C-South will be closed on Monday, May 12, so that the painters may restripe the parking lot.

Check daily for lot closures as the painters work their way through campus restriping parking lots.

Your patience and understanding are very much appreciated!
