Update - After discussing the effectiveness of the initial fix with users experiencing Wi-Fi issues in Skarland, OIT Networking has implemented a secondary fix and will be monitoring the stability of connections following this potential solution. We encourage Skarland residents to report any continued issues as usual to the NTS service desk, and if submitting a ticket via email or support portal, please make note of the room number where the incident is occurring.
We will make another update by end-of-day (5:00PM) tomorrow, or as new information becomes available. Thank you again for your time and patience!

Thank you for your patience during the resolution of this issue!

Investigating - We have received reports that the wireless networks in the Skarland residence hall are experiencing intermittent functionality and frequent disconnects. The OIT Networking team has been notified for investigation, and we will made further updates as new information is available, and at the beginning of the business day (8:00AM) tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience during the resolution of this issue!

Identified - Microsoft is discontinuing the M365 A1 Plus license, and some users are being transitioned from the M365 A1 "Plus" license to the M365 A1 license. This results in a loss of access to the desktop version of Office 365 applications, but all users should still be able to use the web-based apps at https://m365.cloud.microsoft/apps/ (requires UA login).
This change affects Crafts & Trades staff, Adjunct/Temporary Faculty, and Emeritus Faculty members. If you're not a member of these groups and are experiencing issues with the Microsoft Office suite, please reach out to your campus's IT helpdesk!
Due to the longstanding nature of this change and resulting disruption, we will be updating this status only as new information becomes available. We are actively communicating with UAA about the situation, and appreciate your time and understanding as we navigate this unexpected transition. Thank you!
