Known issues
The LSE switchboard is unavailable outside of its operating hours, which can be frustrating for those needing immediate assistance. It is recommended to call during business hours or use alternative contact methods for urgent issues. For emergencies, campus security numbers should be used. Additionally, callers may experience delays during peak times, such as the beginning of the academic year. Planning calls during less busy periods can help reduce wait times.
