Information & Technology Preparedness Update

Office of the CIO

September 3, 2009

Greetings University Community,

This email is to update you on the Information & Technology preparedness plan to secure the technology environments and ensure the safety of the students of the University of the Virgin Islands.

ITS will start securing and covering technology equipment in the labs located outside of the library immediately. We are encouraging all students to use the upper campus Library or 24/7 Lab this evening. These labs will be available for student use until 8:00 pm this evening. After 8:00 pm this evening no student labs will be available for student use. Magnetic key cards will not unlock the door of the 24/7 lab this evening. Students will be able to use the wireless and network services in the student residence halls.

All Smart class rooms and VC rooms will be set up as usual for evening instruction. ITS staff will cover the equipment in all Smart and VC rooms before we leave campus this evening. Security will assist with securing and covering equipment in Smart rooms and VC classes that conclude at 9:45 pm this evening.

The Libraries will be closing at 8:00 pm this evening and will re-open on Friday bases on the opening schedule of the university.

Please note, the students will not be able to use the student labs at the opening of the university on Friday because lab equipment will have to be re-set up and tested to ensure that all computers are functioning properly.

Please keep safe and dry!
