Dear Penn State students,

As you are likely aware, Penn State and many other universities are currently experiencing a Canvas outage, and no one has access. The Penn State team is working diligently on the issue.

Given that we do not expect resolution to occur within the next 24 hours — and it could stretch beyond — tests and other assignments to be completed in Canvas will not be available. All tests scheduled to be administered in the Pollock Testing Center Thursday night and Friday have been canceled. 

We have notified your faculty and are working with them to determine next steps for final grading. We are determining how best to move forward and will reach out to you with information via email as soon as possible. It is important that you check your email regularly while this situation is being addressed.

For the latest information on the Canvas outage, please visit this Penn State IT website.

For those of you who are attending commencement this weekend, you may still participate and walk in commencement even if you have not received final grades. Faculty may offer deferred grades as a possible and reasonable option to being unable to complete final exams, assignments, and projects, and as noted above we will email as soon as possible with further information. Please be aware that you cannot receive your diploma with an unresolved deferred grade (DF) on your transcript. We recognize how disruptive this is at the end of your semester and are working to create as much flexibility as possible.
