Temporary student support arrangements during Microsoft outage
Last updated 13 November 2026 at 11:09am
During the Microsoft outage, pre-booked online and in-person Student Welfare and Support Services appointments will go ahead as normal.
New online counselling assessments may instead take place by telephone or need to be rescheduled- we are making every effort to contact those who may be affected. There may also be delays in responding to new appointment requests.
If you need urgent mental health or welfare support, please see the University's emergency and out-of-hours contacts.
Keeping you informed
The University will keep you informed about important news, opportunities and events via the Student News email newsletter (sent every other Monday during term time), the MyOxford student app, and @OxUniStudents Instagram. If you have any questions during your time here, please speak to your college in the first instance (or your department, if you don't have a college).
