Dear UC Davis community:

UC Davis Canvas is once again available. Our technology teams completed additional security reviews after Canvas was brought back online.

Some features will not be available immediately, as they were disabled to protect the security of Canvas and your data during this incident, and will take additional time to restore.

Check the status of your learning tools/integrations on the Canvas Learning Tools Update page. Updates will be posted as tools are re-enabled.

*Canvas guest accounts and personal access tokens (PATs) have been disabled.*

-To restore a guest account or request a new one for a course, the instructor of record should register their guest(s) as temporary affiliates with UC Davis.
-Current Canvas guest account holders will be notified separately.
-Instructors may request a new time-limited personal access token using this request form.

Support is available via:
