Microsoft services and applications are starting to return to normal following worldwide disruption. University students and staff should start seeing Microsoft services coming back online now, although some further disruption is possible as Microsoft continues with its rolling recovery.  

Assessments

If you have an assessment deadline today (Friday 13 November), it has automatically been extended to the same time on Wednesday 18 November. This applies to all deadlines that were due today, including original submission dates, 48-hour extensions, late submissions and extenuating circumstances arrangements.
