Microsoft services being restored

November 13, 2026

Microsoft services used across RRC Polytech, including Outlook, Calendar and Copilot, are beginning to come back online.

Emails delayed during yesterday’s outage should begin arriving, although Microsoft has advised that some may take up to 48 hours to reach inboxes. If you tried to send an important message yesterday, consider resending it today to make sure it reaches the intended recipient.

Staff and students may continue to experience intermittent issues with email, calendar syncing and other Microsoft functions throughout the day.

As Microsoft Defender was also impacted by the outage, please be especially careful with links and attachments, particularly those from unfamiliar or unexpected sources.

Polytech operations are not currently impacted by this outage and campuses remain open.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

RRC Polytech campuses are located on the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Anishininwak, Dakota Oyate, and Denésuline, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis.

We recognize and honour Treaty 3 Territory Shoal Lake 40 First Nation, the source of Winnipeg’s clean drinking water. In addition, we acknowledge Treaty Territories which provide us with access to electricity we use in both our personal and professional lives.
