Incident Report for Cal Poly ITS Systems

Resolved

Canvas is now live and can be used by the campus community. However, we ask that you continue to exercise caution during this time and report any suspicious activity to abuse@calpoly.edu immediately. Remember: The CSU will never ask for payment from faculty or students for the use of Canvas, including for examinations. In an abundance of caution, we strongly recommend that you download any important or necessary documents for added security and save them to OneDrive.
