From Tuesday afternoon around 5pm to Thursday morning the RoboJackets server was down due to to the excessive load that the schedule creator program was placing on OSCAR. As a result of this OIT shutdown access to the machine. After communicating with campus IT representatives access was restored and the schedule creator was removed. The creator will not be back this semester. We will work with campus IT to try have it return in some capacity for the future.
