Scheduled power outage to impact campuses and centers 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. May 22

Posted on by Polk Newsroom

There will be a scheduled power outage on the Polk State Winter Haven Campus on Thursday, May 22, 2025, from 6 a.m. to 7 a.m. This outage is necessary to allow TECO to re-energize the transformer that serves the Fine Arts Building. During this time, network services will be unavailable at all campuses and centers, as the Winter Haven Campus powers the College’s central network equipment.

This outage will affect:

  • On-campus WiFi
  • Landline phones
  • Computer workstations

This outage will not impact off-campus access to:

  • The Polk Portal
  • Polk.edu email
  • Canvas
  • The polk.edu website

The College’s IT staff will be on hand to confirm that all network services are restored once the power is restored to campus.
