Due to an ongoing technical problem with Rogers Communications, the inbound and outbound telecommunications connection to The University of Western Ontario has been temporarily lost. Western phones are unable to receive incoming calls from outside university lines or to make outgoing calls.
The Western internal telecommunications system is working as normal and the internal 911 emergency lines are also fully functional.
Western is also equipped with six phone lines from a secondary source for use in emergency situations and all are working properly.
Rogers is working to address this problem which was first noticed at about 11:30 p.m. last night. This information will be updated when it becomes available from Rogers.
Please continue to visit www.uwo.ca for status reports.
To contact Western Campus Police from outside the university, for purposes of an emergency, incoming calls can be made to 519-685-8300, ext. 33040.
