On this page, you'll find a list of frequently asked questions (FAQ) about the Campus Network Upgrade Project from a project status standpoint.

Q: What is the status of the project?

A: Please see the Building Status page for more detail.

Q: How will campus be kept informed of project status?

Q: How are those involved in the planning and implementation of the project getting input from campus?

A: In order to involve campus in the planning process, three advisory groups have been set up:

Academic Deans' Liaisons: The Academic Deans' Liaisons act as the sole and final authority for programmatic priorities within their respective colleges, working collaboratively with representatives of their respective units. The liaisons also determine whether CITES efforts on the network upgrade meet the needs of the colleges.

Academic Network Advisory Group (ANAG): The Academic Network Advisory Group (ANAG) is comprised of a subset of the associate deans or others identified by the deans to work on the campus network planning process. The membership advises the Chief Information Officer (CIO), on the advice and review of the Provost.

Network Upgrade Technical Advisory Group: This group includes experienced technical staff members from several units across the campus. The Technical Advisory Group works with and advises the Campus Network Architect about the network upgrade planning.

In addition to these groups, the Research Computing Advisory Board will play a key role in advising CITES on high-demand, research-oriented networking needs.

Q: Who do I ask about questions specific to my building or unit?

A: Please check with the representative on the advisory group for your college or unit if you have general questions.
