Ongoing cybersecurity event affecting Canvas
May 7, 2026 4:33 PM

Dear Faculty, Staff and Students,

Canvas, our learning management system, is offline due to an ongoing cybersecurity incident. We are awaiting information from Instructure, the parent company of Canvas, as to when the service will become available again. Until the vendor can solve this problem, course materials will be unavailable. This issue is affecting universities across the country.

Members of university leadership are discussing next steps, with sensitivity to the impacts on students and instructors during the final exam period.

Sincerely,

Mairéad Martin
Vice Provost for IT and Chief Information Officer
