| UP systems will be unavailable or down for a week in AugustThe annual Service Week of the UP Computer Centre will take place this year from Monday 11 to Friday 15 August 2025. During this week, the necessary extensive maintenance, updates and upgrades of the University's information networks and systems will take place. Although the UP Computer Center (CVT) staff is attempting to minimize the impact of the interventions on users, there will be significant service outages, unavailability of websites, the UP Portal and related applications, STAG, email, single sign-on, storage, or Internet connectivity in general during the period.
All systems will be completely down for one full day due to upgrades to the backbone switches, and the functionality of the University's information systems will not be guaranteed during the rest of the week.
Therefore, we recommend that you consider the date of the service week when planning for the holiday months and direct important tasks that may be affected by the temporary unavailability of University systems to another date. The CVT team thanks all users for their understanding. | | | Nominate volunteers for the Rector’s AwardDo you know a colleague or student who cares about the world around them and is willing to lend a helping hand?
