Students looking for their midterm grades found a surprise when they attempted to log into Canvas on Tuesday afternoon.

A Internet outage caused by a division of Amazon Web Services cloud computing division sent thousands of websites offline for more than four hours. Lindenwood’s Canvas website was among the affected websites.

According to email sent to faculty and students by the university, the information technology department worked with the Academic Services to arrange a new deadline to allow professors to enter the grades in the system.

The new deadline has been moved to 5 p.m. Wednesday.
