Provost and academic vice-dean Pavlina Radia said the senate had approved extensions to the academic term and exam schedule Wednesday owing to the attack. The winter term will be extended to April 12, from April 5, while exams will begin a week late, on April 18. Course registrations, which are done online, will be available as soon as services are brought back online. Radia said faculty have been advised to flexible, adding she’s aware some students may have booked flights to go home at the end of term. She said that all support systems, including campus residence and university bus passes, will be in place to the end of the extended term and exam period. Benoit said the last phase of addressing the attack will include determining what happened and how, as well as how to prevent another cyber attack. Payroll for students and faculty wasn’t affected, the officials noted. Mondor said university officials do not think the attack will affect gradu- ation this summer. More than 9,000 students were told not to attend classes on Monday. The university was able to restore campus internet services Monday night after establishing a temporary network. Advanced Education Minister Renée Cable was briefed about the incident, her office said Tuesday. Earlier Wednesday, frustration and speculation gripped campus. “We are, literally, at a standstill; we can’t move ahead with anything,” said Emily Dahl, a criminal justice major in her third year. Without access to Nexus, some classes are unable to continue and students cannot prepare for exams, Dahl said. “It’s been kind of crazy because every professor is approaching it in a different way. They are also pretty (much) in the dark, as well,” she said, explaining how some of her classes have transitioned from mostly digital to in-person learning. Only half of the students showed up to one of her classes on Wednesday, she said. “I think for (some) profs, so much of the things they require are inter- net-based,” she said. “If they don’t have access to the resources they need to do their job, then I can under- stand why that would be frustrating.” The university established a web page to provide further information about the impacts of the attack. erik.pindera@freepress.mb.ca tyler.searle@freepress.mb.ca DELAYS ● FROM A1 MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS The U of W has approved extensions to the academic term and exam schedule due to the cyberattack and says at this time it is not aware of the loss of any personal information. ;
