ITS System Outage this weekend: Starting 5:30 pm on Mar. 15

Details

Published on Wednesday, 13 March 2013 10:03

Due to the need for maintenance, all Banner-related systems will be taken offline Friday afternoon (Fri 2013-MAR-15) at 5:30 pm.

A result of the planning and testing efforts performed by the staff of many of The Citadel’s administrative offices, this maintenance to Banner is required to ensure our systems and data remain secure and have the continued functionality the college’s operations require. As most of you are aware, our Banner system is the central component of most of The Citadel’s major IT systems.

The systems that will not be available this weekend include Banner and BannerWeb, Cognos, ODS, Cadet Information Systems, and Infirmary System.

The Lesesne Gateway portal, One Card, and Commandant Information System will be available.

(Citlearn and our email systems do not require use of Lesesne Gateway and should continue to remain available as usual. Faculty and staff can always access their email at http://owa.citadel.edu/ and CitLearn can be reached at http://citlearn.blackboard.com/. Student e-mail can be accessed at http://webmail.citadel.edu/.)

While we hope to have all systems back online late Sunday (Sun 2013-MAR-17), it is possible that they may not all be available until Monday morning (Mon 2013-MAR-18). Please check http://www.bulldogalert.info/ for periodic status updates.

Hurricane Season 2013

Published on Monday, 21 May 2012 03:30

The Atlantic Hurricane Seasons runs from June 1 to November 30 each year.

The Citadel's mission in the event of a hurricane that is expected to make landfall in or near the Charleston area is to take all actions necessary to prevent the loss of life and to minimize damage to property, equipment, utility systems, and facilities. In the aftermath of a storm, the college turns its attention to recovery operations and restoring essential services so the campus can return to normal operations.

The safety of our students, faculty and staff are of the utmost importance. Each summer members of The Citadel staff conduct hurricane drills so they are ready if a tropical storm or hurricane comes near. In addition the college has a detailed Hurricane Operations Plan outline our preparations and how we will communicate information to students, parents, faculty and staff and the greater Charleston community.

For the latest hurricane-related Citadel information, stay tuned to www.citadel.edu and the DAWG line at (843) 953-3294. If severe weather (or some other emergency) prevents you from reaching www.citadel.edu or the DAWG line, stay tuned to http://www.bulldogalert.info for the latest information.
