Important Update

Shortly before 22:00 on Wednesday 14 April, the University experienced a cyber-attack which has impacted all of its systems, including those in the Cloud such as Canvas, MS Teams and Zoom. Please be reassured that our IT colleagues are working hard to investigate and rectify the situation as soon as possible.

Most live online teaching will resume on Monday 19 April. You can safely access Canvas, Teams and Zoom as normal. Sessions that require remote access to specialist applications may have to be rescheduled.

You can continue to attend in-person on-campus teaching but University PCs and laptops in our LRCs are currently unavailable.

Students who were due to submit assignments should not worry. As soon as our systems have been restored, Programme Leaders will be in contact to advise of your new submission dates. Students will not be disadvantaged as a result of this attack.

Please read the latest updates about the cyber-attack and the impact on learning and teaching here.

We apologise for the inconvenience this situation has caused and will continue to keep you updated. You can check the status of all our systems by visiting https://status.herts.ac.uk/.
