Global Microsoft 365 outage

13 Nov, 5.30pm. RMIT is aware of a global Microsoft 365 outage affecting services including Outlook, Teams and Co-Pilot. These applications may currently be unavailable, performing incorrectly, or running slowly. SharePoint is available as normal. RMIT is closely monitoring the situation and will update the RMIT IT status page as services are restored.

Students can submit assessments via Canvas as usual, and access other RMIT systems including Enrolment Online and the Student Connect Portal.

Cyber Alert! Scams related to the current Microsoft outage

There are reports that SMS-based scams are circulating asking users to log in to get Microsoft outage updates. It's important to stay vigilant, do not share your private details and only trust official RMIT channels.

Microsoft is retiring SMS and voice authentication on 1 February 2027

If you use these options to sign in to RMIT systems, switch to a supported authentication method by 30 November 2026 to ensure your access to systems is maintained. RMIT recommends using the free Microsoft Authenticator app. For download and setup instructions, go to Multi-factor authentication.
