Thanks everyone for the fantastic feedback from last Friday and over the weekend on the IT issues we’ve been experiencing. Sam who looks after the Infrastructure side of the IT Dept just posted an update to the previous thread but I’ll repost it here so it’s a bit easier to find:
Hey Ed, et al.
Thanks for all the feedback on the performance of the network over the last while it really is a help to us. Having read all these posts I can see that many of them are related to some significant network issues we have been experiencing with UNE.

Officially Orientation 2010 kicked off on Friday with our special program for our International and Exchange students but tonight it’s our on campus non college residents turn with a free BBQ at the Bistro. If you’re not sure where it is, here’s the map:

So if you’re coming to UNE for the first time and you’re already in town, see you tonight! I’ll try and post some video and pics from the event for our off campus students as well. And keep your eye on the site later tonight and I’ll post all the maps for tomorrow’s program (Lifesaver Day, Official Welcome, International Student Fair).

Brian Cameron, the Director of IT just rang to get an idea of the experience off-campus students are having with the current network difficulties. We’re getting direct feedback from those on-campus but we really need to find out what’s happening for you folk studying by DE/Online (and for that matter, enrolling at the moment).
FYI, UNE is currently flying in experts from around the world to help get to the bottom of the issues.
So fire away folks, tell us what’s happening on your end and we’ll pass it on to the experts at IT - give us as much detail as you can. Email your feedback to studentsupport@une.edu.au or hit us up in the comments section (or via Facebook & Twitter).

I’ve just had a chat with the guys at IT about unreleased Units (we were expecting everything to open on Feb 1 as per official advice). It’s my understanding there’s approx 100 Units not yet released. So if that’s one of your Units, contact your Unit Coordinator directly to find out when it will be released.
Here’s a screen grab so you know how to find your Unit Coordinator:

So jump on over to the Course and Unit Catalogue, search for the Units you can’t access and get in contact with your Unit Coordinator.
