Update: Canvas Security Incident (May 9, 2026)
Last week, Instructure, the company behind Canvas Cloud, advised institutions of a systems breach. This incident has been widely reported in major national and international news and impacts a number of institutions across the world, with names, email addresses, student ID numbers and messages among Canvas users reported to have been impacted.
As a precautionary measure, and with the safety of our community and protection of institutional and personal data and intellectual property in mind, effective immediately, SFU is restricting access to Canvas Cloud for all academic, non-academic and continuing education courses.
