*COMPLETE* Scheduled Campus Network and Services Disruption - April 18, 2026

WHAT: Scheduled Campus Network Maintenance Disruption

WHEN: 4/18/2026    Duration: Periodic disruptions, see details below

WHERE: PLU (Parkland) Main Campus

Current Status: Work complete as of 12:00PM, Saturday, April 18, 2026

Description:
During the morning of August 18th, 2026, Information & Technology Services will be performing an upgrade to core network services. This work will cause a series of disruptions to campus network access as well as require taking some services offline during portions of the work.

The primary service impact will be between approximately 8am to 1pm on Saturday, April 18th. During that time we will be upgrading our network core which as a precaution requires shutdown of some key services including Banner, Sakai, & Help Desk.

Continued work later on Saturday may be necessary and will typically involve more brief and localized disruptions to different segments of the network. Generally these later disruptions should be brief for any affected areas.

Service(s) Impacted: Campus Network, Sakai, Banner, Help Desk

Next Update: Updates provided as work progresses through the weekend

Problems with ePass Login - 3/13

WHAT: Problems with ePass Login

WHEN: 03/13/2026 beginning 2:15pm

Current Status: Resolved

Description:

**3:45pm Sunday, March 15th**

I&TS believes we've restored stability to the ePass SSO system and should remain stable going forward.  We'll continue monitoring services to ensure no additional issues arise.

**3:15pm Sunday, March 15th**

We are once again experiencing a problem with the ePass SSO system that is causing login issues for various PLU services that require login via single-sign-on.  I&TS is actively troubleshooting the issue and will provide updates as information becomes available.

*4:45pm Update - Resolved*

We believe all of the issues related to the ePass SSO issues have been resolved and should remain stable going forward.  We'll continue monitoring services to ensure no additional issues arise.

*4:15pm Update*

The primary issue with ePass SSO seems to be resolved, but the I&TS team is still troubleshooting some underlying issues.  Most user-accessible services should be functioning, but some internal tools and processes are still offline.  We'll update status as more information is available.

*Original Post*

A problem with ePass single-sign-in login was discovered that blocks people from logging into to any single-sign-on resource using their ePass credentials.  We are actively working a resolution to the problem and will post an update regarding the status as soon as possible.

Service(s) Impacted: ePass, Sakai, Banner, Gmail, Google Apps
