Due to significantly reduced demand and the return to in-person learning, Alibaba CEN was decommissioned effective May 1, 2022.  

Alibaba was a temporary solution that Information Technology Services (ITS) deployed in response to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in July 2020, when students from mainland China needed to connect to University of Toronto systems remotely. ITS is maintaining the ability to activate Alibaba again in the future if needed.
