Information Technology Services began an upgrade to MSU's entire network last November and will continue with the upgrade throughout July.

As part of this upgrade, ITS will visit individual academic and administrative buildings on the Starkville campus to install new network equipment. 

Careful consideration has been taken on scheduling building upgrade dates to minimize the impact on academic classes and administrative work.  
  
Please be aware of the following on the day a building is scheduled to be upgraded as the building will be without network connectivity (wired and wireless) all day.  

• Phones will be unavailable during the upgrade. 
• Instructors should be prepared to deliver course material from another location if network access is required.  
• ITS-supported lecterns will not be functional during the day of the scheduled upgrade.

• Academic buildings with classrooms scheduled to be upgraded during the month of July are as follows: 
  • Friday, July 2 
    • Magruder Hall 
    • Patterson Engineering Building
  • Friday, July 9
    • McComas Hall
  • Friday, July 16
    • Dorman Hall
    • Dorman Hall Greenhouse
  • Friday, July 23
    • Howell Building
    • Landscape Architecture Administration
    • Landscape Architecture Freehand Studio
    • Landscape Architecture Seminar Studio
  • Friday, July 30
    • Industrial Education Building

If there are extenuating circumstances that would exclude one of the above buildings from being updated on the specified date and/or time, please immediately notify the ITS Service Desk at 662-325-0631 or servicedesk@msstate.edu.
  
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this critical network upgrade.
