The maintenance has been completed. The network maintenance work performed this morning at 5:00AM did not resolve the issue that we are having reaching denison.edu from wireless devices on campus.  Please continue to use the work-arounds detailed in the post below while we continue to work with our wireless network vendor on resolving this issue. Thank you for your patience.  ITS will post a progress update at noon today.  Please report any issues to ITS Service Desk at 740-587-6395 or servicedesk@denison.edu.

Original Post:
ITS will be performing wireless network maintenance on Thursday, 9/02/21 at 5 am which may result in the loss of wireless network connection for up to 15 minutes.

Please do not edit files over the network or submit information online during this time period as your work may be lost when the network outage occurs.

The Internal Revenue Service today warned of an ongoing IRS-impersonation scam that appears to primarily target educational institutions, including students and staff who have “.edu” email addresses.

The IRS’ phishing@irs.gov has received complaints about the impersonation scam in recent weeks from people with email addresses ending in “.edu.” The phishing emails appear to target university and college students from both public and private, profit and non-profit institutions.

Taxpayers who believe they have a pending refund can easily check on its status at Where’s My Refund? on IRS.gov.

The suspect emails display the IRS logo and use various subject lines such as “Tax Refund Payment” or “Recalculation of your tax refund payment.” It asks people to click a link and submit a form to claim their refund.
