Canvas Disruption

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students:

Our vendor Instructure/Canvas has been compromised and is currently unavailable.  This issue is impacting institutions and users globally and we are actively monitoring the status of the situation.

At this time, please DO NOT attempt to access Canvas in any way until further notice. If you are currently in the system, do not click on any links; just close your browser.

We recognize that this disruption will affect academic programs. Students should wait for instructions from their instructors on temporary measures for submitting course assignments and accessing materials until this situation can be resolved. Updates will be provided to the campus as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth H. Simmons
Executive Vice Chancellor
