MSU Information Technology maintains the Service Status site displaying information about services and systems provided by MSU IT to the university. The Distance Learning Services Help Desk and Telecommunications also use the Service Status site.

Additionally, the Service Status system may be used to display information about other campus services if an event affects a major portion of campus.

Information appears on Service Status after entered into the system. Portions of this information are also displayed via RSS feeds (with a 5-minute delay) on the home pages of several MSU sites. These feeds can be used to display service information in a variety of formats.
