]]> Canvas: Scheduled Maintenance on 5/22/2018 at 4:00 AM https://canvaskb.cirtunf.org/announcement/canvas-scheduled-maintenance-on-5222018-at-400-am/ Mon, 07 May 2018 20:11:37 +0000 https://canvaskb.cirtunf.org/?p=1062 At 4:09PM Monday, May 7th Canvas Support announced a 10 minute maintenance they must conduct on May 22nd @4:00AM.  Their original message follows.

Canvas Status Update
Scheduled maintenance on 5/22/2018 at 2:00 AM MST (8:00 AM UTC)

Hi Admins—

We’ll be performing a brief maintenance event on your Canvas instance on Tuesday, May 22nd. We anticipate this event will last 10 minutes; it will occur during the 30-minute interval between 2:00 AM MST (4:00AM EST) / 8:00 AM UTC and 2:30 AM MST (4:30AM EST), and your users will not be able to access Canvas while the event is underway.

We know that the timing of this event isn’t ideal, given that it falls near the end of a semester for many institutions. The work we’ll do is to apply a critical security update, and Amazon Web Services reserves the right to apply it themselves at a time of their choosing if we do not apply it soon. We are opting to move forward on our own schedule, since we can at least ensure that the event happens in the wee hours of the morning. Please contact your customer success manager if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks,

Canvas Support

]]> 3/2/2018 – Canvas Enrollment Restoration Update https://canvaskb.cirtunf.org/announcement/322018-canvas-enrollment-restoration-update/ Fri, 02 Mar 2018 19:40:43 +0000 https://canvaskb.cirtunf.org/?p=1032 As of 2:10PM Friday, Mar. 2nd CIRT is continuing to manually restore enrollments in Canvas non term-based courses.  During this time you may receive an email from UNF Canvas announcing you are invited to a course, accept the invite to complete the enrollment.

Enrollments that are, and were, managed by Banner have been restored, but any users enrolled into the course manually may still need to be re-enrolled. For instructions on how to add a user please read, How do I add users to a course?

The majority of the GROUP and Faculty SANDBOX course enrollments have been restored, and we are in the process of manually identifying, and fixing, any remaining courses. If you are missing any courses or are missing enrollments in any of your courses, please contact CIRT, cirtlab@unf.edu or 620-3927.
