About This Site

Welcome to the Canvas at Penn status page. The purpose of this page is to provide real-time information about unexpected service issues, outages, and scheduled maintenance for supported educational technologies from the Courseware Team at Penn Libraries.

Our goal is to update this page as soon as we are alerted to an issue. Please keep in mind that updates may be delayed due to information provided by third-party vendors and reports made outside of regular business hours. If you experience an issue that has not yet been reported, please contact canvas@pobox.upenn.edu.

We also maintain a list of Known Issues in Canvas separate from this site.
