Notice: Important Information Regarding MacOS Sonoma

The Office of Information Technology (OIT) would like to inform all Mac users within our university community about an important matter concerning the latest operating system, MacOS Sonoma.

We strongly advise against upgrading to Mac OS Sonoma at this time. Preliminary testing has revealed that this update may remove certain Adobe products, and there could be potential impacts on other essential items. To ensure a seamless transition and to address any compatibility issues, we kindly request that you refrain from downloading and installing Mac OS Sonoma until OIT has concluded its thorough testing process.

For updates and further information, please monitor the OIT website. If you have any immediate concerns or questions, feel free to reach out to the OIT Help Desk.

Thank you for your cooperation.
