On Friday, 17 February 2012 from approximately 8:00 AM until around 2:00 PM, the IT department will be performing maintenance work. As a consequence, during that period access to all CATE-based classes will be disrupted. Therefore, you should not expect to be able to work in your CATE classes during that time. Please plan accordingly.
