The move comes after the school suspended access to its campus network last week following cybersecurity incident that remains under investigation.

The University of Massachusetts Lowell launched a temporary website to keep students and staff informed as it remains closed Wednesday amid a cybersecurity investigation.

“This has been a challenging week and we apologize to our students and employees and thank them for their patience,” said Steve O’Riordan, UMass Lowell vice chancellor for finance and operations.

The school said last week it was working with a cyber forensics firm to "identify, evaluate and eliminate any issues that are discovered."
