Dear members of the Columbia community,
The University has restored Columbia user access to Canvas/CourseWorks following the restoration of services by Instructure, the platform’s parent company.
Access to Canvas/CourseWorks has been restored for Columbia users using valid UNI credentials. If you encounter challenges accessing the login page successfully, please reach out to [email protected], or contact the CUIT helpdesk at 212-854-1919.
Individual schools and instructors will communicate directly with students regarding any residual impacts to final exams or assignment deadlines.
We are deeply grateful to our entire community for your patience and understanding as we navigate this complex and understandably frustrating situation. We also want to extend our sincere thanks to our deans, faculty, and staff, who worked tirelessly throughout the night to maintain continuity and support our students and academic operations as fully as possible.
Sincerely,
Angela V. Olinto
Provost, Rutherfurd Professor of Astronomy and Professor of Physics
