[Update as of August 1: ]
Off-campus access to Royal Drive will continue to be restricted until the vendor releases a patch for the vulnerability. Employees having a critical business need to access Royal Drive from off-campus through the end of next week may request alternative access by submitting an email message to techsupport@scranton.edu with a valid business justification. If you have questions, please contact the Technology Support Center at (570) 941-4357.
