The Yeshiva University web site will be unavailable starting at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 27th, because of essential maintenance and upgrades. This scheduled downtime is anticipated to last 2 hours. If you are visiting yu.edu during this time, you will be redirected to a temporary web page.
Note: some applications that are linked to the web site, like the University’s course management package ANGEL, will still be available but to access them, you will need to type in the location in the location box at the top of your browser. For example, the location of YU ANGEL is https://yu.elearning.yu.edu; Cardozo’s ANGEL location is https://cardozo.elearning.yu.edu. For easier use, we recommend that prior to Thursday afternoon you “bookmark” this and other such server-based applications accessible on the Web. If you have any questions about creating such bookmarks, please contact the Help Desk at helpdesk@yu.edu or 212-960-5294.
Also, YUMS email delivery and receipt will continue during the 2-hour Web downtime (and can be accessed if you use Outlook or another package). The Einstein web site will be unaffected as well.
