College Internet outage planned for April 6

Fiber optic upgrade work on campus will take down college website for several hours on April 6.

The Shoreline Community College website and all other Internet connectivity from
the campus will be down from 9-11 a.m., Saturday, April 6.

The outage is required while work is done to reroute some fiber optic cable on campus. The work will strengthen the campus technology infrastructure. While the outage is scheduled to start at 9 a.m. and end no later than 11 a.m., service may be restored sooner.

During the outage, anything that relies on an Internet connection from the campus will be unavailable, including college e-mail. Both go.shoreline.edu and shoreline.edu e-mail addresses will be affected.

Shoreline uses a number of services that are hosted off-campus such as the Canvas and Blackboard learning management systems and various blogs. Those off-campus hosted services will be available, although they will not be accessible through the college website during the outage.
