IT Notes: Support During Start of School
With the influx of students on campus, you can generally expect an impact in the performance of the network and other systems. Please visit the IT System Status website to check on system wide outages before contacting CAFNR IT: status.missouri.edu/. There is an option to subscribe to system announcements for system outages that may directly affect your job such as Canvas or Peoplesoft. This system also allows for the use of an outside email address for notification in case of email outages.
Please be patient. Same day support, outside of classrooms, will be limited until we are through the first week or two of classes. If you have an emergency situation, please point that out when requesting support.
