A network security incident affected the system’s central financial aid office, but its application portal remained available and no university problems were reported.
Account access, registration, payments and phone service were disrupted before fall classes, while the university reported no evidence that university data was accessed or exfiltrated.
The university took some computer systems offline after reporting a network disruption but has not confirmed the cause or disclosed a recovery timeline.
The private college said applications and file-sharing services were affected as investigators determine whether information was accessed or compromised.
