Alert: This article will continue to be updated with new information as it becomes available.
Latest update: November 30, 10:30pm Pacific.
Because we are serious about improving member services, NIRSA is preparing to upgrade the Association’s database software. For the short time that these updates are in process, certain NIRSA web services and resources will be unavailable.
The temporary outage will primarily affect the NIRSA Connect platform and the NIRSA store. Additionally, the discussion forum, resource library, Institutional Data Set, and online transactions (e.g., registrations, donations, membership dues renewals, etc.) will be down. Service interruptions will occur November 21–22, although the ripple effect may last for a few days into the weekend.
Registrations for the 2017 NIRSA Annual Conference can continue to be submitted by pdf without any interruptions. And the upgraded platform will be up and running in time for #GivingTuesday. By timing this upgrade to coincide with the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, we hope to minimize service disruptions as much as possible. We hope you will be out of the office and enjoying down time of your own.
- If you require immediate access to a NIRSA service or resource that is unavailable to you, please call NIRSA Headquarters at 541-766-8211 or contact us by email at nirsa@nirsa.org.
