Sonoma State University is Y2K Ready

As the Y2K craze approaches, Sonoma State University is ready to move into the new millennium. In order to ensure a smooth transition, SSU Police Services and the Information Technology and the Facilities Services divisions, among others have worked for the past year to ensure that areas critical to the ongoing operation of the university will be operational on January 1, 2000.

As usual during the first few weeks of January, the campus will not house students in the residence halls and offices will be closed for its normal closure from 12/27 - 12/31.

To effectively update the status of the university, members of critical departments will be on campus January 1, 2000 to confirm that university systems have made the transition successful.

In order to keep the public informed of the status of the University during the Y2K transition, Sonoma State University has established an information line: 888 533-5388. In addition, updates will be made available on KZST (100.1 FM), KSRO (1350 AM), and KCBS (740 AM) radio stations as well as KFTY TV 50. Interested parties may call for updates after 6 p.m. on Sunday, January 2. The line will be updated daily or as needed.
