Microsoft 365 outage (9am)
Posted on behalf of: IT Services
Last updated: Friday, 13 November 2026
Dear students and staff,
The global Microsoft outage affecting Microsoft 365 services is continuing. This is not an issue with University systems or your device.
What this means for you:
- Some services, such as Teams, may be available intermittently. Please do not rely on them, as they remain subject to disruption.
- You may still have difficulty sending or receiving email, joining or hosting Teams meetings and calls, or opening and saving files stored in OneDrive.
- There is no need to log a ticket with IT Services or reset your password, as this will not resolve the issue.
- Where you can, please save a local copy of any documents you are working on, and avoid making significant changes to files in OneDrive until service is restored.
- If a teaching session, meeting or deadline is affected, please contact the relevant office directly by phone where feasible. We ask for your understanding and flexibility while services are disrupted.
Our IT teams are monitoring the situation closely. The next update will be at 10:00am. We will post updates on the Staff Hub, Student Hub, Canvas and Sussex Direct. Please check these rather than email for the latest information.
We apologise for the disruption and thank you for your patience.
IT Services
