University Statement on Canvas Outage
|
"After a disruption that affected thousands of schools across the nation, Canvas is now operational. The University is working with faculty to ensure students have other means to access course materials, and we are developing contingency plans for any finals that are scheduled to be delivered through Canvas, should there be further disruption. We are continuing to monitor the situation and coordinate with Instructure, the company that provides the Canvas LMS. We recognize this disruption is occurring during a critical academic period and appreciate the patience and flexibility of our students, faculty and staff."
