Dear Lancers,
A cybersecurity incident impacting Instructure, the company that operates Canvas, occurred on May 1 and May 7, 2026. This is a global issue affecting colleges and universities worldwide and is not isolated to CLC. The college uses Canvas for our online Learning Management System.
Important points we know as of May 8th:
Instructure has not confirmed that CLC data was impacted. The threat actor, ShinyHunters, has published a list of schools that includes CLC. This is not officially verifiable information.
There is not confirmation that CLC data was impacted, and we are sharing the facts about our system, so students are aware.
The following three pieces of student information are housed in CLC’s Canvas system:
Full name
CLC I.D. number
CLC-assigned email address
CLC's Information Technology team is closely monitoring the situation. The college will communicate any impacts as official updates are received from Instructure and trusted security sources.
As always, please forward any suspicious emails to [email protected] and do not click on any links. CLC will never ask you to provide your username and password.
