It probably hasn't escaped your attention that we are dealing with a disruption in our network. At the moment, the network varies from working just fine to being really slow or going down completely. The disruption has an external cause and is targeting the shared SURF servers of educational institutions. UM is therefore not the only institution experiencing problems. 

A solution is being worked on, but it is still unclear what the exact consequences are and how long they will last. We will keep you updated via this webpage.
