One of the oldest community colleges in California, MJC has two main campuses in the city of Modesto and serves more than 18,000 day and evening students each semester.
Located near the city of Sonora in the wooded Sierra Nevada foothills, Columbia College is a primary resource of adult learning for residents throughout the Mother Lode region.
Yosemite Community College District Information Security Office is pleased to inform you that the recent Canvas outage has been resolved and Canvas service has been restored for all users at Columbia College (CC) and Modesto Junior College (MJC)
We understand the disruption this may have caused and appreciate your patience while our teams worked to restore service as quickly as possible. All core functionality has been confirmed, and all faculty and staff should now be able to access all courses and materials without issue.
Threat actors often try to take advantage of incidents such as this. We encourage the campus community to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious communications, which could include messages that appear to come from within our campus community. If you encounter such an activity, please report it to the YCCD IT Service Desk. YCCD, Modesto Junior College, or Columbia College, will never ask you to pay money to access Canvas materials. Do not click on suspicious “Canvas recovery” or “password reset” links, and please log out immediately and contact the IT Service Desk at itservicedesk@yosemite.edu.
While the outage has been resolved, we are monitoring the situation closely and coordinating
with the California Community College Chancellor's Office and Canvas. Protecting the security and privacy of our students and employees is
a top priority.
