RESOLVED: Duo Unavailable

Updated 5/13/24 at 4:15pm:

This issue appears to be resolved for those of us who have been testing, though Duo’s status page still reports some issues with Duo Push. Please let us know if you continue to experience problems using Duo.


Community members are reporting that they are unable to use Duo to authenticate to Bryn Mawr College services.

Reports indicate that this is a pervasive problem not unique to Bryn Mawr. 

We will update as we learn more. Contact the Help Desk with questions: help@brynmawr.edu or 610-526-7440.

RESOLVED: SPSS Unavailable

UPDATE Saturday, 5/4: As of very early this morning, SPSS is once again available and functional. Please report any lingering issues to the Help Desk.


This morning, there is a server issue that is affecting community members’ ability to access and use SPSS. We are actively working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Thank you in advance for your patience.
