The university has planned a new ICT maintenance weekend on 26 and 27 November. Due to this, you might experience some trouble with the wireless network. Remember to bring your network cable to stay connected, since the wired network will be working fine.

Unfortunately those of you working and studying in the TPM building will be unable to access the university network all day on Saturday, because the wired connections will be replaced.

So when you have planned to study or work at the university this weekend, bring your network cable and do not use the TPM building! When you experience problems or in case of an emergency, call +31 15 2781226
