Next Steps and Timeline

This change will take place over the spring semester. Our OIT transition team will contact you in the coming weeks to schedule your migration to OptiSigns. Training resources, access instructions, and support documentation will be provided during this process. Hypersign administrators will retain access to their existing files for migration and backup through June 30, 2026. 

Thank you for your continued partnership as we modernize our campus communication tools. We look forward to the improved visibility, consistency, and impact this platform will bring to our community.

If your department would like to add any new displays or upgrade hardware, now is a great time. For questions, please reach out to the OIT HelpDesk.
