The University of Nebraska System sent this email on Friday afternoon, May 8, to update the situation regarding Canvas services.
The University of Nebraska has restored access to several Canvas services. Canvas is now available at canvas.nebraska.edu.
Key integrated tools used for teaching, learning, and assessment — including Yuja, Canvas Quizzes, Turnitin and Respondus — are now live and ready for use.
Due to ongoing security precautions, the following services have not yet been restored within Canvas:
- Microsoft 365
- Zoom
- Unizin Data Platform (UDP)
- Peoplesoft “Import Grades from Canvas” feature
Instructors can find guidance on how to enter grades without this feature at canvas.nebraska.edu/gradebook.
Functionality for Microsoft 365 and Zoom remains intact outside of Canvas and can still be accessed directly through their respective platforms.
Some users may notice a different appearance on the Canvas login page; please be assured that it is safe to use.
Students who have questions or encounter issues can contact this NU support email. Faculty may reach out to the Learning Technologies team via email.
The university will continue to assess security considerations and will restore additional Canvas services as soon as it is safe to do so.
We appreciate your patience, flexibility and understanding during this time as we work to fully restore services.
