Microsoft Outage Update

Microsoft has made progress in resolving the Outlook email outage. Email service is available; however, a significant backlog remains. As of 7:00am, Microsoft indicated that the outage window had been extended to 48 hours to allow time for delivery of the backlogged messages. Intermittent delays may continue during this period. If you need to contact campus offices immediately, please use alternative communication methods, such as phone calls or text messages. For real-time updates, consult Penn’s IT Status Hub or contact your local IT help desk.
