The Texas A&M University System is aware of a cybersecurity incident affecting Instructure, the company that operates Canvas — the learning management system used across our member universities. This incident was not directed at the Texas A&M University System or any of our institutions. Instructure serves thousands of institutions worldwide, and this is a vendor-level event that may affect multiple institutions globally.
Status Update
As of 13:45 CDT on May 8, 2026, Canvas service has been restored to all institutions globally. TAMUS member universities are in the process of restoring services but may delay restoration of individual instances at their discretion.
