Ithaca College

The second of two annual campus electrical shut downs takes place on Sunday, August 9th, 2015.

ITS would like to remind everyone to unplug computers, printers, and other electrical devices prior to the start of the shut down. 

While ITS expects that all computing systems and services will remain online and accessible from off campus during the power outage, there is the possibility of extended system downtime for any system or service due to unanticipated problems.
