Wellesley-created applications running in Workday are currently unavailable:
We are working with the vendor to determine the cause. We will keep you updated as we learn more.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
On Saturday, Sept 14, 2024, from 12AM midnight to 12PM noon EST, our interlibrary loan (ILL) system will be unavailable due to a system maintenance. The update may complete earlier and users can check the OCLC System Status Dashboard for updates.
Please contact ILL (x2010 or ill@wellesley.edu) with any questions.
We are currently experiencing a database issue affecting various web applications including the directory, course browser, etc. Our team is working on a resolution and will notify you once services are back to normal.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
LTS staff will be unavailable on Monday, September 2nd for Labor Day, a holiday that the College observes.

Due to a vendor notice that we received this morning, this update has been moved up to TODAY 7/30, at 10:30am.
In order to strengthen information security controls, vendors often require us to replace the SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) certificates used by various systems. The certificates used by our WiFi infrastructure will now expire today at 5pm, so we are switching to the new server today at 10:30am.
All devices connecting to the Wellesley Secure wireless network may need to accept a new security certificate. Your device may need to “forget” the Wellesley Secure network if it does not automatically connect. Newer Android devices need to enter “wellesley.edu” for the domain. See our instructions on connecting to the network for more information.
You may be prompted to re-authenticate with your domain password.
