Update Friday, May 15, 2026: UBC has restored access to Canvas, our Learning Management System, following last week’s cyber incident. Most Extended Learning students will get access today. Students should check their email for updates and instructions from instructors or staff. Those students in courses that were moved to an alternative Learning Management System will continue in that platform until completion of their current course.
Note that registration, payments and access to student accounts were not connected to the cyber incident and remain unaffected. ExL staff is available Monday-Friday, 8:30am-4:30pm Pacific Time to answer your questions.For more information on the cyber incident, visit the UBC IT incident status page.
