Following the recent nationwide security incident involving the Canvas Learning Management System, members of the UC Davis community have reported new phishing scams that try to take advantage of the situation.

Connecting to the UC Davis Guest wireless network will soon be easier than ever, thanks to an upgrade from Information and Educational Technology (IET). Beginning Monday, July 6, 2026, the login process will be streamlined, yet remain secure, by allowing guests to simply accept our terms of service to access the network.

Previously, campus visitors created a temporary account and received a password by email or text message to access the UC Davis Guest network. You can see the previous login screens below.

UC Davis Canvas is once again available. Our technology teams completed additional security reviews after Canvas was brought back online.

Some features will not be available immediately, as they were disabled to protect the security of Canvas and your data during this incident, and will take additional time to restore.
