Managers & Directors:

The University of Toledo is hosting a site evaluation team representing the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools on February 27 - 29, 2012. This comprehensive evaluation visit is a critical next step in the university being granted continued accreditation. An HLC site team visits a campus to validate the information included in the University’s self-study report and to collect additional information to include in its final report and recommendations.

To insure that all systems are highly available during this time, there will be an IT system change freeze for academic and administrative systems beginning February 26 thru midnight of February 29. The President’s office has been given Mike Firsdon and Bob Hogle’s names as the 24x7 immediate response coordinators during this crucial period in the event any IT issues impact the assessment team. They will be calling on any IT person deemed necessary to address any issue encountered. If any Director or Manager has a planned vacation or will not be available during this period, please submit your request to me for approval consideration. Please make yourself available when contacted.

Thank you,

Godfrey Ovwigho, PhD

Vice President, Information Technology/CIO
