During this time, ALL services and systems hosted in the campus data center will be intermittently available. This includes access to applications such as Payroll, CCLE, DACSS, MyUCLA, BruinBuy, OPUS, BruinCard, as well as email servers. If you have questions about whether a particular application will be affected, please contact the IT Support Center.
Externally-hosted applications that require a UCLA logon — e.g., Box, Duo, and Google Workspace — will be available, as Shibboleth service will failover to UC Berkeley during the maintenance window.
We anticipate the maintenance window will last until noon on Sunday, Dec. 15.
