Canvas is currently stable and available to use. After cybersecurity events like this, there is an increase in phishing and smishing attempts. Our Canvas administrators will never text you or contact you from an external email address. Please review the latest communication for steps to keep your information secure.
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
