Wilmington College closed its main campus in Ohio at noon Wednesday, Nov. 11, while investigating a potential network security incident.
“Students and employees are not to access SharePoint, OneDrive, or Jenzabar until further notice,” the college said in its closure notice. College email remained available, and officials told students and employees to check email and text messages for updates.
The college uses OneDrive for file storage and Jenzabar to manage academic and business records. Students can access some of that information through the college portal, according to its IT catalog.
The campus closure covered the rest of Wednesday, the college said in a Facebook announcement. Dining and student health services stayed open, and extracurricular activities were scheduled to continue.

The private liberal arts college in southwestern Ohio enrolled about 1,100 students across its programs in fall 2025, according to a college profile.
Two days before Wilmington’s closure, Vanderbilt University in Tennessee asked students and employees to shut down university devices and disconnect from campus Wi-Fi while it worked to contain a cybersecurity incident.
The college said it would announce plans for Thursday, Nov. 12, as more information became available. It gave no timetable for lifting the system restrictions and had not said whether anyone accessed college data.
