Update on Canvas outage

At around 3 p.m. today, the Universities of Wisconsin Administration and UW-Madison became part of a nationwide Canvas outage. 

We are aware of the outage and multiple teams are working with the Universities of Wisconsin Administration and UW-Madison to address this issue on behalf of our students.

Please note: if Canvas prompts you to perform any action - such as clicking a link, logging in, resetting your password, or completing any tasks - do not proceed. These prompts may not be legitimate while the system is down. We will send a follow-up notification when Canvas is back online. 

The original third-party cybersecurity incident, first reported May 1, affects the cloud-based system operated by Instructure, and affects UW-Madison and all other Universities of Wisconsin (UWs) campuses. 

As we know more, we will share it promptly. Thanks for your patience.
