Lanier Tech is currently experiencing a college-wide internet outage. This outage is caused by a major fiber cut in Gainesville, GA affecting our upstream provider. Our provider has a repair team on site but believes the repairs will likely not be complete until tomorrow.
Until the repairs are complete, Lanier Tech students and employees can reach E-mail and Blackboard by going to https://laniertech.okta.com from non-campus networks. Do not use LTC computers on campus or campus wifi with the expectation of internet access until this is resolved. If you are using your personal cell phone, you may use your own data plan to access your LTC E-mail and Blackboard if you choose to do so.
This outage does not affect scheduled on-campus classes.
