Upcoming outage for UniSA networks and systems
This is advance notice of an upcoming outage which will affect all University of South Australia networks and systems from 7:00am – 3:00pm on Saturday 5 April. We understand this outage can be disruptive to your studies, so we will endeavour to restore the network as soon as possible. However please note further intermittent outages are possible on Sunday 6 April. This outage will impact all internet-based systems, and for some campuses, building access will be impacted.

For specific information on how this outage will affect you, including what systems will be affected and how to prepare for this outage, please visit the outage page on the website and be sure to check this page regularly in the lead-up to the outage. This will be the central location for updates and changes in relation to the outage timings and impact. Keep a check on the UniSA service status page for live status updates during the works.
