Due to ongoing problems with the fiber from the vendor that provides Internet and Network Connectivity to FAU, there will be Emergency third-party maintenance that will sporadically affect connectivity to the campus from midnight until 6:00 a.m. We are making efforts to ensure that most services including Blackboard and MyFAU are available as much as possible through the maintenance by utilizing backup internet connections and disaster recovery procedures. However, there may be intermittent and sporadic losses of connectivity due to the nature of the outage, including a 20 minute disruption in service around 2:00 a.m.

You can monitor the status of services at http://www.fau.edu/oit throughout the evening for updates.

For on-campus residents, services should continue as usual including outside access to the internet with the exception of the 20 minute disruption at 2:00 a.m..  Users from off-campus may be unable to reach some services overnight starting at midnight.  We apologize for the unavoidable disruption of services.
