• Microsoft Global Outage: Academic and Student Support (Friday, 13 November 2026)
  

  As many of you will have noticed, a Microsoft outage today has disrupted access to services such as Outlook and OneDrive. We know this may have affected your ability to work on or submit assessments, and we want to reassure you that you will not be disadvantaged.

  If you have an assessment deadline anytime during the affected period the University will waive late submission penalties where submissions are delayed as a result of the ongoing Microsoft outage.

  You do not need to apply for this, contact your School, or provide evidence. This will be applied automatically, and your work will be marked as if it had been submitted on time.

  If you have already submitted your assessment, you do not need to do anything.

  Please read the student news article about advice, support and updates.
