Alert: Canvas Outage Update
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.

Pre-Award Request
Preaward Setup is a way for departments to prepare ahead of time when an incoming new award or continuation is expected and a Speedtype is needed in advance of the arrival of the award.
For continuations, it is best practice to establish a preaward when your current budget period is ending and we need to finalize those numbers while also having a new speed type for charges that will incur in the next expected budget period.
For federal Non-Competing segments, Award Setups will automatically issue a preaward up to 60 days in advance of the next budget period. A request is not needed. Note: If your project will keep the same number for the upcoming budget period the project status will cycle to “S-Prespending Status” after the end of the current budget period and remain in that status until the award is received. For those awards needing a new project we will issue a new number in a preaward status.
Preaward Requests for a brand-new award or new segments require an InfoEd routing be in place and have a status that has completed all department workflow.
