University-wide network disruption on 11 and 12 February
IT Services need to perform maintenance work on Wednesday, 11 February and Thursday, 12 February 2026, resulting in a short disruption to network connectivity at some point between 6.30pm and 9pm on both evenings.
The disruption is expected to be short, up to a maximum of five minutes, however please allow up to one hour for checks against key systems to complete.
During the disruptions, access to University services will be affected. This includes (but is not limited to) Wi-Fi and the wired network, IT login, GlobalProtect VPN, Duo, some University websites, My Manchester and more.
IT colleagues will be monitoring services throughout and after the work to ensure everything returns to service as expected.
If you experience any issues after work has been completed, please report to the IT Support Centre (24/7) on 0161 306 5544.
