Dear Colleagues

Please take note that there will be maintenance done on the firewall infrastructure of the NWU on Tuesday, 16 August from 20:00 to 21:30. We don't expect any downtime, but internet related services might be affected during this time.  Thank you for your understanding.

The first stage of a project to re-look services for students, was changing the email service.

The next stage is to provide cloud storage.

A Google domain for the NWU has been setup and with this in place, new services became available.
