Microsoft Outage

Microsoft reports some improvement this morning following a widespread disruption to Microsoft 365. Some students, faculty and staff may still experience delays sending or receiving Outlook email or have difficulty accessing Teams, SharePoint and other Microsoft applications.

PennWest University remains open for business. D2L and Zoom are operating normally. Students who have difficulty completing coursework or participating in class because of the disruption should contact their faculty member.

For the latest updates, visit Microsoft’s service status page.
