Campus Updates- All Staff (12/3/21)

Hi Campus Community,  

Here are this week’s updates! 

RETURN TO CAMPUS/COVID-19 

  • We are closely monitoring changing conditions of the pandemic, including the new Omicron Covid-19 variant, and have discussed the latest information at the Communicable Disease Team (CDT) and the Executive Team (ET).  
  • Student Vaccine Attestation: New in-person or on-campus students attending winter quarter 2022 need to complete the COVID-19 vaccination attestation form by January 20, 2022 (10th day of the quarter) to avoid getting a hold put on their registration account.  
  • Vaccine Clinic 
    • The next weekend clinic will be on December 4th and 5th in the Main Dining Room (MDR) in the PUB/9000 building for children ages 5-11 to receive the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine.  Make a follow-up appointment here. Expect thousands of people on campus that weekend so there will be no walk-ins accommodated. 
    • The clinic will close on December 17, 2021, in order to move to the Quiet Dining Room (QDR)/room 9208 and then will reopen on January 4, 2022.  It is expected to stay open throughout the winter quarter M-F 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and will continue to offer COVID-19 vaccinations for ages 5-adult and booster shots for ages 18+.

Power Shutdown, Sept 24th

Dear Shoreline Staff,

As part of our preparation work for the new Health Sciences and Advanced Manufacturing Classroom Complex (HSAMCC), a power shutdown will be conducted on campus from noon on Friday, September 24 through 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, September 26. 

We need all staff to plan to work remotely on Friday, September 24th for the full day. Please access your work activities remotely as normal until noon. After 12 pm, the power will be off on campus, and you will need to access work via VPN when working at home. Please check with your supervisor for more information. 

For people who normally use Remote Desktop for HP, share drives, report server, Qnomy and must work Friday afternoon — as your work is critical in onboarding students using HP — we can accommodate setting up a limited number of new VPN setups.    Please contact TSS if you are in need of a new VPN setup.

Core campus networking services and online services will be unaffected. 

Services that will be unavailable during the shutdown include:

  • Remote access to employee desktop systems in the affected buildings 
  • You must switch to VPN
  • Student remote access to labs in the affected buildings 
  • Wi-Fi access in and near the affected buildings: 1800, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2400, 2500, 2600 (generators will be provided for MLT refrigerators), 2700, 2900 (generator will be provided for Biology and Chemistry refrigerators and for the refrigerator on the lower level), 3000, and 5000.

The shutdown will not interfere with IT services and Canvas.  Campus vendors, including Avanti, have been notified of this activity as well. 

Please be sure to remove all personal food and beverage items from refrigerators in these buildings by September 23. 

If you have any technical difficulties, please contact TSS.
