ITS Production Freezes for Campus Services

What is a Freeze?

A production freeze ensures service availability and reduces risk by establishing a period of time—or "freeze"—during a business cycle where no major changes are made to services and systems.

For exact dates, see the Production Freeze year-at-a-glance calendar or list view, or add the dates to your Google Calendar.
