Michigan Severs Itself from the Internet on the First Day of Classes

We have made the difficult decision to sever the university's ties to the internet. As a precautionary measure in response to a significant security concern, U-M ITS has disconnected the campus network from the internet, effective immediately. This affects access to the internet from U-M wired and wireless networks, including MWireless and MGuest, on the Ann Arbor, Dearborn and Flint campuses. Michigan Medicine clinical systems are not affected. We understand this is disruptive, especially as classes begin tomorrow. We will share updates as soon as we can.

Internet access remains unavailable on the Ann Arbor and Dearborn campuses as the first day of fall classes begins. Wi-Fi, MCommunity, Canvas, Wolverine Access and most cloud services cannot be reached from on-campus networks. Faculty are asked to use flexibility with attendance and assignments today. The Flint campus is operating normally. Michigan Medicine clinical operations remain unaffected. We thank you for your patience as our information assurance teams work around the clock.
