Computing Services — Banner Maintenance — 24 Apr 2010

This Saturday, 24 Apr 2010, Computing Services will be transferring our school web services to a new server. This action is necessary to replace our aging web server, but also needed as part of the mandated Payment Card Industry changes scheduled to begin at the end of May. It is anticipated that school services (One stop, Self Service Banner) will be unavailable for about 1 – 1.5 hours starting at 9 AM on Saturday.

Following that change, banner will be updated with the new financial  aid releases. Banner will be down for about 2.5 hours for that upgrade. So total down time will be from 9AM until approximately 1PM.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the ASC Computing Services Help desk at x7741. Thank you for your cooperation!

The following maintenance activities will occur beginning at 9PM:

  • Employee computers will receive an upgrade to the help.adams.edu calling card, which will streamline the process for receiving remote computer support from Computing Services.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the ASC Computing Services Helpdesk at x7741. Thank you for your cooperation!

Computing Services Maintenance for Saturday, 10 Apr 10

We need to install student and COF upgrade modules into banner. This is to keep us up to date with Banner as well as to prepare for the mandated Payment Card Industry requirements coming in July.

The student/COF upgrade will take about 5 hours and is scheduled to occur on Saturday the 10th of April, beginning at 8:00 AM. Banner and School Services will be unavailable for that duration.

If you have any questions, please contact the ASC Computing Services Helpdesk at x7741.
