The CLAS Staff Development Fund was allocated by Dean Jansma to aid staff in furthering their skills and career goals. CLAS staff may request up to $500 per-person in funding for conferences, events, trainings, or other activities that will further their professional goals and job skills. All current CLAS staff are eligible to apply. To apply for funds, please submit the application posted on the CLAS Staff Council website. You will be asked to provide details about the event, including a breakdown of anticipated costs, and to explain how the event would support your individual professional development. Applications for the 2021-2022 academic year will be accepted through April 30th or until all professional development funds have been awarded. Awards will be granted as applications are received and until all available professional development funds have been dispersed. All awarded funds must be spent prior to the fiscal year end deadlines. Please email clas.staffcouncil@ucdenver.edu if you have any questions.
Canvas Outage
Canvas access has been restored for our users, but the service reliability remains uncertain. Due to recent events, Canvas has had intermittent outages which are at the discretion of the vendor and may occur during a final exam. Faculty and staff may continue to use Canvas, but we strongly advise faculty and students to prepare a contingency plan for turning in assignments and final exams in the event Canvas access becomes unavailable again.
Instructure, the company that owns Canvas, has provided an FAQ about the incident, which may not answer all your questions. We will share more information if it becomes available.
