RE: Upcoming UCPath Outage Begins at 10 p.m. on December 9

UCPath Online will be unavailable from 10 p.m. on December 9 until 6 a.m. on December 14 for the transfer from the current Oracle hosting platform to Amazon Web Services (AWS). This shift provides a mature platform for an improved end-user experience and better system performance for critical UCPath areas, leading to faster payroll cycle times. 

On December 3, all employees, including student employees in UCPath, will need to enroll in MFA to access UCPath. Enroll at it.ucsb.edu/mfa. 

Please review the summary below for UCPath key dates and impacts:
