Urgent update regarding Canvas availability
In addition to the measures taken by Instructure, UC Santa Cruz has proactively disabled local access points to further safeguard our campus data.
Dear Campus Community,
Canvas, our campus learning management system, is currently offline. Instructure, the parent company of Canvas, is currently responding to a nationwide security breach affecting thousands of institutions.
In addition to the measures taken by Instructure, UC Santa Cruz has proactively disabled local access points to further safeguard our campus data.
Instructure is providing live status updates on their website. The UC Office of the President is providing updates with the UC community on this page as the situation evolves.
We strongly encourage you to remain vigilant and exercise caution regarding potential phishing attempts. Watch for unexpected messages that seem to come from UC or UC Santa Cruz. The university will never ask for passwords, Social Security numbers, birthdates, or bank account information through email, text, or phone calls.
If you have any questions, please reach out to ITS by opening an online support ticket or by calling 831-459-4357.
We will share updates with the campus community as we learn more.
