Dear UC Davis community:

Check the status of your learning tools/integrations on the Canvas Learning Tools Update page. Updates will be posted as tools are re-enabled.

*Canvas guest accounts and personal access tokens (PATs) have been disabled.*

-To restore a guest account or request a new one for a course, the instructor of record should register their guest(s) as temporary affiliates with UC Davis.
-Current Canvas guest account holders will be notified separately.
-Instructors may request a new time-limited personal access token using this request form.
