LSAIT Notification Policy

The following chart was developed by LSAIT to facilitate internal discussions about when to make changes to LSAIT systems and how best to notify users and the computer support personnel of the College. These guidelines have informed the process by which LSAIT sends out notifications. For more information, contact Ron Loveless, Senior Manager for LSAIT at ronl@umich.edu.

LSAIT Assumptions:

• changes that are visible to users will be done without notification only in the event of an emergency
• the following guidelines can be waived if all affected parties agree to do so
• LSAIT Management can make judgment calls when a situation requires immediate action
