As part of the ongoing improvements to our systems and services, we will be carrying out maintenance activities over the next few weeks. We will be deploying systems and security patching during September, and in October, we will be replacing our firewalls.
Maintenance is planned for the following times:
- 18:00 on Friday 11 September until 23:59 on Sunday 13 September

Please be advised that these dates are subject to change, but we will provide further updates as we approach the proposed times.
Security patching activity: 11 – 13 and 18 – 20 September
During these time periods, the following systems will be unavailable:
- web-link
- odbc-link
- xml-link
- Course Collect
Impact on applicants
11 – 13 September:

A reminder that on Friday 25 September, all outstanding decisions (except delayed confirmation decisions, DCF) will RBD, and all outstanding replies will DBD.
We appreciate these outages are close to the 1 October deadline, but unfortunately this maintenance activity is unavoidable. We hope that this is sufficient notice should you need to implement any new plans with the outages in mind. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

During this planned maintenance period, you will be unable to access your institution data in web-link.
