Posted on June 20, 2022

The UBC IT Bulletins site will no longer be updated on July 18, 2022 and users will need to visit its replacement, the UBC IT Status Page at https://status.it.ubc.ca, where they can view or subscribe to status updates and incident notifications.

For our enterprise-level services, users can now subscribe in multiple ways that now include customizable push notifications:

  • SMS messaging
  • Email notifications

  • Twitter feed
  • A general RSS feed
  • Custom Slack notifications
  • Custom embed code via an API
