Create your Technology Backup Plan

While we make every effort to make sure resources are available and classroom and work time are uninterrupted, there are unforeseeable circumstances that impact services, such as weather, hardware failure, or an outage from a service provider. Additionally, you may experience local power or internet outages from your remote working location. Therefore it’s always good to have a technology backup plan and communicate your plan with your colleagues. A few suggestions to include in your plan: 

Know where to check for scheduled maintenance or a known outage impacting services. For IT-supported service, please visit our System Status page
