The Division of Information Technology provides a secure and reliable computing environment for all students and staff. In order to achieve this, scheduled systems maintenance is required to occur from time to time in a managed way so as to minimise any disruption to IT services.
Evidence from student engagement indicates the least disruptive times for students is early mornings. As such, the preferred maintenance window for:
- Student Online Systems is Thursdays 5.00am - 8.00am
- Non Student Online Systems is Wednesdays 6.00pm - 8.00pm
The maintenance window will allow enhancements that require a disruption to a CSU system to be implemented, tested and approved in an optimal time frame.
- If you are a student and require more information about a service disruption please contact Student Central
- If you are a staff member and require more information about a service disruption please contact the IT Service Desk
