Canvas and Piazza Service Disruption
Canvas shut down early Monday morning due to an ongoing failure of Amazon Web Services.
Piazza, a forum for out-of-class questions between students and professors, was also out of service but is now back online.
Canvas is a crucial platform for Tufts students, hosting course information, assignment submissions, online assessments, and study materials for almost all classes.
The duration and impact of the shutdown on classroom operations are currently unknown.
We are currently waiting for full recovery due to an ongoing AWS incident.
The latest update from the status website indicates that Canvas is working on a fix.
