Microsoft service disruption

Following the global Microsoft outage, we are beginning to see some services gradually return. However, access to Microsoft applications, including Outlook, Teams and Copilot, may remain intermittent while Microsoft continues to work on resolving the issue. You may experience occasional disruption or difficulty accessing these services. We are continuing to monitor the situation and will provide further updates as necessary.

Teaching and other University activities will continue as normal unless otherwise communicated.
