Planned Outage - Authentication Unavailable on Financial Affairs Website During Improvement Work: Fri 2/6 @ 10pm - Mon 2/9 @ 6am
The Financial Affairs website will be undergoing work to improve the authentication platform over the coming weekend. The website WILL be up and available, as will all primary system launch pages (CruzBuy, CruzPay, etc.), however users will NOT be able to authenticate for access to protected resources, such as DocuSign enabled web forms and the Entertainment Dashboard.

The authentication outage is limited to only the Financial Affairs website, and will be in effect from Friday evening at 10pm PST until Monday morning at 6am PST. Users attempting to authenticate during this outage window may encounter a system error page when attempting to sign in.

If you have questions about this outage, please contact our finaff-tech@ucsc.edu team.
