Internet 2 implementation Schedule

Office of the CIO

May 13, 2009

Greetings University Community,

This communication is to inform the University Community that Information & Technology Services will be performing a network upgrade on the St. Thomas and St. Croix campuses. This Network upgrade is necessary in order to ensure that UVI systems are ready to accommodate the I2 (Internet two) connection. This implementation will take place over the next couple of days.

During the implementation period the UVI network will not be operational on either campus. This means there will be no access to the internet, all web services (i.e. banner, banweb and blackboard), inter-island 4 digit dialing, voicemail on St. Croix campus, e-mail, and wireless internet service.

Work is scheduled to begin on the St. Thomas campus tonight May 13, 2009 at 6:00 pm to 12:00 midnight and on St. Croix campus tomorrow night May 14, 2009 from 6:00 pm to 12:00 midnight. On Friday, May 15, 2009 additional testing of the connection will continue on both campuses from 6:00 pm to 12 midnight.
Information & Technology Services apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions about this communication please contact our help desk at helpdesk@uvi.edu or call 693-1466.

Thank you.


Cherie Wheatley
