UWM Tech Timeout for the beginning of the Spring 2026 semester begins on Friday, January 23, at 12:01 am and ends Monday, February 2, at 11:59 pm.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Tech Timeout?<\/strong> 
Tech Timeout refers to a timeframe when University IT Services will not make changes that affect campus-wide services, functions or activities. This includes major IT project changes, retiring or implementing a new IT platform, planning outages, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do this at the beginning and end of each semester to ensure a stable IT environment during peak periods of UWM educational and business activities. Exceptions would only apply if the stability or security of IT services needs to be maintained. Those exceptions would be communicated to the UWM community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have any questions, please contact the UWM Help Desk<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
