• HelpSU (requests will be accepted and queued)
• Library journal access
• Mailman mailing lists (messages will be accepted and queued)
• Oracle Financials

These services should not be affected:

• AFS
• Authentication (WebAuth)
• Email and Calendar (Zimbra) & Incoming/Outgoing Email gateways
• Google Apps (undergraduate students, the Graduate School of Business, and the Law School)
• Open LDAP services

This upgrade, performed every five years, refreshes and renews the network connections into crucial campus services, improving throughput and reliability. IT Services appreciates your patience while we make these changes.
