Microsoft outage affecting University systems

13 November 2026

Students at the University of Sunderland

Please be aware that, due to a global outage, some Microsoft services are currently down across the University. This includes Outlook and Copilot.

Microsoft is working to restore these services as quickly as possible.

Teams and SharePoint are currently working intermittently, while Canvas and Evision are both working as normal.
Until full services are restored:
- All updates will be communicated via the University app and website
- Please do not rely on Teams or Microsoft email for urgent messages during this period.

- The University helpline is currently working and available on 0191 515 3000.

We will keep you updated using the operational platforms mentioned above.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
