Today was the first day of classes at the University of Missouri, and students at the school were looking forward to getting off to a good start. However the University’s website, myZou, which is used for student schedules was down for a couple hours.
Students that did not have their schedule printed out ahead of time, logged online this morning to find that they could not get their semesters schedule because of myZou’s downtime.
“I didn’t go to my first class because myZou was punishing me for not printing my schedule ahead of time. A huge school like Missouri should have web servers large enough to handle the needed traffic,” said one student anonymously.
Some students missed as many as 4 classes today because of the server outage. There is no word yet on what caused the site’s downtime, but it is now back up and running.
