On September 9, at 12:09 pm, U of T Libraries took to Twitter to announce that Wi-Fi was down across campus. The outage, which occurred on the first day of classes, affected ROSI, Portal and UTmail among other services. “We’ve had reports of portal, utoronto.ca, wifi, and email all being down,” stated one of the tweets. Another one noted that: “ROSI is also down.” All services were fully functioning by 1:12 pm, according to U of T Libraries. Although students were displeased with the online systems’ issues, U of T’s technology specialists were applauded for quickly fixing the problem: “websites are back up and running! Thank you super fast tech people!”, tweeted one happy student. Despite the circulation of news on Twitter, no official announcement of the events has been made on the Information and Technology Services’ website.
