Information Technology at Olivet Nazarene University

Status: Investigating
Start Time: November 12, 2026, at 11:00 AM CST (12:00 PM ET)
Affected Services: Microsoft Outlook (Web, Desktop, and Mobile), Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and Microsoft 365 applications.

What is happening?
Microsoft is currently experiencing a widespread global service disruption affecting access to Exchange Online mailboxes and related Microsoft 365 services. Users may experience delays, connection timeouts, or an inability to send, receive, or access emails and files.

What is being done?
Microsoft engineers have identified the issue and are actively working to mitigate the impact and restore full service. Because this is a vendor-side outage, our local IT team is monitoring Microsoft's status updates closely, and no action is required on your device at this time.

Workarounds & Next Steps:

• Please avoid repeatedly restarting your computer or reinstalling Outlook, as this will not resolve the issue.
• If you have urgent communications, please use alternative methods such as phone calls or SMS text messages.
• We will update this notice as soon as Microsoft confirms that services have been restored. Thank you for your patience.
