The University of Georgia experienced a widespread power outage Monday morning, May 19, impacting multiple essential campus services, including telephones, internet connectivity and traffic lights, according to school officials.

The cause of the outage isn’t yet known.

University officials confirmed that appropriate service providers are currently on campus working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

As a result of the outage, UGA has paused all first-year housing room selection appointments scheduled for today. The university announced that all students with appointment times this week will be rescheduled.

Officials hope to send updated appointment times later today as systems are restored.

Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available and services return to normal.
