IR has shared with us these instructions (PDF) for faculty and staff who need to update pages on the new academic server (not the CMS).

As always, if you have questions or run into any trouble, please let us know!

Update (8/1/11): Instructions were revised – the link now takes you to the corrected PDF. Thanks to Tim Cannon for catching the errors!

Hm, I’m forwarding this to IR to see if they can figure out what’s wrong. Will update when I have more info. Thanks, Tim!

Immediate response was that it might be due to the planned systems downtime today – recommendation is to try again on Tuesday, and if it still doesn’t work, report it to the TSC. I’ll post again on Tuesday if I get any updates. Sorry to not have a better answer :(
