Dear All,

Please be advised that Microsoft is currently experiencing a worldwide service disruption affecting several Microsoft 365 services, including Outlook (Exchange Online), Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Online, Microsoft Copilot and other related services.

The issue has been identified as a Microsoft-side infrastructure problem, where several backend servers have become unavailable, resulting in connection issues and service disruptions for users.

Please note that:

• This is a Microsoft-side outage and is not related to our local network, individual user accounts, passwords or mailbox settings.

• Users may experience difficulties accessing emails, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and other Microsoft 365 services.

• Please avoid making unnecessary changes to your Microsoft 365 settings during this period. If you experience connection issues, please try again later.
  
  

Meetings and Appointments:

Please note that any meetings scheduled for today may need to be rescheduled if the Outlook issue persists and access to emails and calendars remains unavailable. Further communication will be provided once services are restored.

Microsoft is actively working to resolve the issue, and we will continue monitoring the situation and provide updates as they become available.

If You Have an Assessment Due Today

• Please try to submit your assessment through Moodle as usual.

• If your submission fails, please take a screenshot showing the error message, including the date and time.

• Keep this screenshot, as you may need to provide it as evidence once services are restored.

Microsoft is actively working to resolve the issue, and we will continue monitoring the situation.

Updates and Further Communication

We will post updates on Moodle HE as more information becomes available. Please check the student portal regularly for further updates.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.
