3/29/25: Maintenance has been completed. Please email the ITS Helpdesk at helpdesk@carleton.edu or call 507-222-5999 if you encounter any issues.

2/25/25: ITS will be conducting network maintenance to improve network redundancy, reliability, and stability across campus wired and WiFi networks. These controller updates will impact some of the 1000+ access points on campus. This maintenance will disrupt the network to differing degrees on several distinct days during Spring Break (March 19-29th). March 19, 20th and March 29 are most likely to impact your work.
The outages and maintenance schedule are as follows:
