On Friday morning, William Carey University experienced an incident that resulted in a system outage that impacted our email and website. Immediately upon learning of the incident, our IT department sprang into action, including shutting down the campus networks temporarily in order to contain the disruption.
As a result of their around-the-clock efforts, our affected operations are being restored. Students and faculty now have access to their email and online courses, and Canvas remains operational. We anticipate being open and operational when classes resume on Monday, and academic advising for the winter trimester will commence next week as scheduled.
At this time, we are working closely with a team of external cybersecurity experts to investigate the situation. William Carey University takes the security of its networks seriously.
Dr. Ben Burnett, President
William Carey University
