How to check if a university network in another state is down ?

I don't know who provides their connection to the Internet, or how to see if it is up or not.

I'm trying to access pages at claflin.edu but they keep timing out.

I don't know who their ISP is. This checks services, not individual web sites. nt eppur_se_muova Sep 26 #2

Down for more than a week ! That sounds like a crisis ...

ETA: their page on Facebook is up. I hope that's not the only way to reach them.
