VCCS ITS is currently validating Canvas status within the VCCS environment and confirming secure operation with our Single Sign-On (SSO) integration.
As a precautionary measure, access restrictions currently remain in place while validation efforts continue. Once we confirm services are stable and secure, the block will be removed and normal access restored.
