Warning: New Phishing Message

Please be aware of recent attempts to gather login, password, and other secure personal or College data from Bryn Mawr College community members.

Be on the lookout for messages titled “Brynmawr Notification” that tells community members that incoming email was blocked and prompts them to click a button to “Release pending messages”. This messages and others like it are a scam.

Do not click links or respond in any way. Delete the message or report it as Phishing in Outlook. If you believe you’ve given your information to a phisher, immediately change your password and contact the Help Desk.

Email scams come in many forms. While we work to keep you informed, attacks are increasingly diverse and sophisticated. It’s not possible for us to warn you of every message before you see it. Be cautious and suspicious. If you ever have a question or suspicion, don’t hesitate to contact the Help Desk.

Intermittent BIONIC Slowness

Students, faculty, and staff using BIONIC today may experience slowness. This is a known issue and LITS staff are working to resolve it as quickly as possible.

This lag is caused by a high volume of students registering for classes combined with the added load of an additional one-time form students must complete before they can begin the registration process. The effect on all BIONIC users is slow performance and error messages.
