Apple Macs running unsupported versions of macOS will no longer be permitted on the UMass Lowell network as of June 15, 2026. Apple has discontinued support for hardware that cannot run macOS Sonoma, Sequoia or Tahoe, and these systems must be decommissioned to maintain campus security.

Faculty and staff should identify any affected devices in their area and transition work to a supported system. If a replacement is needed, ordering options are available through Tech Services. Important data should be backed up using OneDrive.

We have contacted individuals who are listed as having affected devices. If you believe you may have an unsupported system and have not received communication, please contact Tech Services immediately.

To arrange device pickup or request assistance, contact Tech Services at 978-934-4357 or visit the IT Help website.

After June 15, unsupported Macs will be blocked from the internet both on and off campus.
