Bookmark IT Status for emergency updates

Although we work hard to minimise interruptions to IT across the University, sometimes our key services do experience disruptions.

If things aren’t working as they should be, make sure to check the IT status page. This page is available for everyone at the University to use to check whether a disruption to a service is University wide, before you log it with the IT support team.

It will continue to run in the case of a major internet outage and we’ll also add scheduled maintenance to our key services to this page.

If the issue you are experiencing is not listed then report it directly to IT Services.

Slack channels

When disruption or scheduled maintenance is added to the IT status page, a message is automatically posted in the #it-status Slack channel.

If we’re experiencing an IT emergency, we will post updates in the #it-emergency-comms channel.

Both channels are public within Slack and open for all members of staff to join.

To ensure you’re in the know on disruption or planned maintenance to our IT services, make sure you:
