Canvas (LMS) Not Working? Try These Fixes

  1. 1Check your institution's Canvas status page — each university hosts its own Canvas instance
  2. 2Refresh the page — Canvas can time out during high-traffic periods (exam days, deadline nights)
  3. 3Clear your browser cache and cookies — Canvas sessions expire and can cause persistent login loops
  4. 4Try a different browser — Canvas works best in Chrome or Firefox, not Safari
  5. 5Check if only your course or all of Canvas is affected — individual course content can break independently
  6. 6If submitting an assignment, take a screenshot of your work before the deadline as proof of completion
  7. 7Contact your university's IT helpdesk — they can verify if your institution's Canvas is having issues
