CAMPUS WIRELESS NETWORK ISSUES UPDATE

Good morning Campus community,

This is a quick update regarding the campus wireless networks. The new controller is in place and operational. Authentication issues occurring on the SCC Staff and SCC Student Wi-Fi wireless networks have been resolved. We are in the process of investigating access points that have not returned to service in several locations across campus. We will be investigating these from south campus to north campus in a building-by-building methodology. We are hoping to have the access points back in service by this afternoon. 

We understand the criticality of the wireless networks and are working to get them restored as quickly as possible. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding. Further updates will be forthcoming as status changes.

Thank you,Ric

CAMPUS WIRELESS NETWORK ISSUES

Good afternoon,

The campus is continuing to experience outages with wireless and some network services. During the recent power outage on December 26th, the server room experienced a full power loss which has damaged some of the equipment. We are working with our support vendors to diagnose and resolve and are working to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. 

Current affected systems and services:

  • Campus wireless networks
  • Scan to email function on Ricoh copiers across campus
  • Some service email functionality on specialty servers
    • Campus (faculty, staff, student) email is not affected

We apologize for the inconvenience incurred and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thank you,

Ric

From H. Woodmansee, Interim VP-Administrative Services: Campus Wi-Fi Status

Good afternoon,

Due to a power outage last week, several technology systems have been impacted.

The intranet is now up and operating. The time has been corrected in the system as well.

The student and staff Wi-Fi systems continue to be down. Staff continue to get the systems back up and it is anticipated they will be repaired by tomorrow afternoon. Updates will be provided when additional information is available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

ctcLink Survey Results Summary 

The purpose of the ctcLink survey is to understand user needs and identify opportunities for improvement.  In July 2022, 146 responded: 41% classified staff, 26% Exempt staff, and 25% faculty, 5% hourly.

Respondents were actual users of ctcLink (52% reported using ctcLink multiple times a day; 77% reported several times per week or more). 

Results show that individuals are adapting to ctcLink, but they perceive that other areas are not. Users look to local colleagues for support more than other resources. Some users articulate concern about support and want clear, relevant, and timely responses.  

All results can be found here. Please click to begin a download of a read-only excel file.

President Kahn and ET are working together to prioritize and implement the Strategies for Success. President Kahn will speak to these strategies and updates in weekly all-staff emails and video updates, as they progress.
