If you’re like us, you may be a little confused about daylight saving time. In June, Gov. Jared Polis signed HB22-1297, “Daylight Saving Time Year Round,” into law, which would set Colorado’s clocks to daylight saving time (which we are in now) year-round. But that will happen only if a federal law is enacted to allow states the option and at least four other states in the Mountain Time Zone also opt for the change, The Denver Post reports. So for now, we must prepare for another time shift. Don’t forget: Daylight saving time ends this Sunday, Nov. 6, starting at 2 a.m.
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.
