Statements
As you may be aware, the Canvas Learning Management System experienced a global outage Thursday due to a cybersecurity incident targeting Instructure, Canvas’ parent company.
UF leadership is continuing to work with Instructure to monitor the situation as it develops.
At this time, Canvas is back online. Going forward, all updates regarding the operational status of Canvas will be posted on the IT Alerts Dashboard.
Course instructors are encouraged to review their Canvas pages and course materials. As a reminder, there are resources available for course instructors to support alternative methods for course delivery. Additional support is available from the e-Learning Support team.
If you need further assistance, you may contact the UFIT Help Desk at (352) 392-HELP (4357) or helpdesk@ufl.edu, or visit the UFIT Help Desk webpage at Help Desk | Information Technology - University of Florida.
Please remain vigilant for phishing attempts or unexpected messages that appear to be from Canvas or other university systems. Report anything suspicious to the UFIT Help Desk by calling (352) 392-HELP (4357) or emailing helpdesk@ufl.edu.
