IT Scheduled Maintenance for 2008

These are the IT Scheduled Maintenance dates for 2008. The goal is to maintain central IT facilities on a regular basis while minimising interruption to normal business functions, and also considering vital operations in the University calendar such as enrolments, teaching, examinations and graduation. These dates have been discussed with the IT Forum members and have been considered by Deans and Directors. Adjustments were made based on feedback from numerous faculty and admin unit members. The following has also been taken into consideration when collating these dates:

1. The Saturday dates were coordinated to coincide wherever possible with days that the library was closed so as to minimise the impact on business.
2. Dubai is on their weekend on a Friday night (our time).
