Reminder

The ConnectCarolina Finance and HR/Payroll components will be down beginning at NOON on Friday, Dec 7 so that we can begin the Finance software upgrade.

When you return to work on Monday, Dec 10, you will be able log in and work in ConnectCarolina.

Some important questions you’ve asked us:

Why noon? Don’t we usually schedule planned outages after work hours?

You’re right. We try our best to limit planned outages to night time or weekends. In this case, there are more updates than we usually have and that takes more time.

What about students and faculty who are entering and viewing final grades this weekend?

We scheduled the outage for the ConnectCarolina Student Administration component is in as small a window as we could make it. The Student Administration outage is from 10:00 pm on Sat, Dec 8 until 8:00 am on Sun, Dec 9.

Can I still get into ConnectCarolina after 12:00 pm on Friday, Dec 7?

Yes, until 10:00 pm on Saturday night, you can log into ConnectCarolina and access sites and systems that are outside of ConnectCarolina. For example, the links under Enterprise Reporting, General Links, Teaching Resources and Research Resources will be available. Keep in mind that you will not be able to get to those sites from ConnectCarolina from 10:00 pm on Sat, Dec 8 until 8:00 am on Sun, Dec 9.

There are also a few links under HR/Payroll and Finance that will be available except for the Saturday overnight hours, such as PeopleAdmin and Works P-Card, however they will not be able to pull information from ConnectCarolina.

I need more information.
