Information about My Manchester performance issues
Original message: 1:25pm on Tuesday 4 October
These problems may at times result in slow performance when logging in, or it may prevent people from logging in at all.
We understand that this is having a huge impact on the work and study of our staff and students, and we are doing all we can to alleviate these issues.
Currently, IT colleagues are investigating, testing and implementing a number of changes to fix the problem.
We are consulting with the supplier of the My Manchester portal application, gathering more detailed diagnostic information, and making configuration changes to databases, My Manchester and the login service.
Students may be able to access some of their services such as Blackboard and email through the "We're working on it" page.
We sincerely apologise for the problems this may be causing, as we continue to investigate this as our number 1 priority.
