Dickinson State University experienced an Internet outage Wednesday, causing interactive television classes to be canceled at DSU as well as Bismarck State College.

Marty Odermann-Gardner, director of extended campus at DSU, said Internet services were down from about noon until about 4:15 p.m.

DSU student Chandra Christmann was attempting to wrap up this semester’s affairs when the Internet was down.

“I had a final to open up today but I couldn’t access it,” Christmann said. “I have until Sunday but I just wanted to get it done and over with. I have classes on Web CT that I couldn’t access.”

Odermann-Gardner said 10 ITV classes were canceled throughout the day due to the outage. [link]
