We want to thank you for your interest as the College continues to gather information on the Instructure cybersecurity incident.

At this time, Instructure has informed us that Canvas is safe to use, and ITS has ensured Canvas remains available for continued use. CC’s ITS team and cybersecurity partners remain in communication with Instructure and will continue to review new information as it becomes available.

Instructure has shared that it is continuing to investigate the incident and has begun implementing additional safeguards intended to strengthen the security of the Canvas platform we rely on. These include third-party security review, changes to administrative access permissions, and additional measures related to the data involved in the incident.

More information about the steps Instructure is taking can be found on the Instructure incident update page, and we will communicate should additional information become clear.

With appreciation,

Colorado College is known for experiential learning, so when students were studying the impact of World War II on Japanese Americans in Hawaii, it is no surprise that they ended up in Hawaii, having intimate conversations with descendants of Americans of Japanese Ancestry (AJA) World War II veterans.

Before traveling to Hawaii, students in From Pearl Harbor to Honouliuli learned about Pearl Harbor and examined the different hardships Japanese Americans faced during WWII. They analyzed the role of the military in Hawaii, discussed the legacy of WWII in present time, and learned how to ask questions.

We’re getting ready for a new parking year. Online vehicle and parking permit registration for faculty and staff opens Monday, June 8, at 8 a.m.

Before registration opens, please review the following information to help ensure a smooth process. All vehicles must be registered with the Parking Office each year, even if you are not requesting a parking permit. This applies to cars, motorcycles, scooters, and other motor vehicles parked on CC-owned or leased property and designated surrounding streets.

Parking permits are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis, so faculty and staff are encouraged to register early once the system opens. Permit selections will be honored as space allows. If your selected area is full, Parking will assign the next closest available option.

Faculty and staff may register up to three vehicles per permit; however, only one registered vehicle may be parked on campus at a time. The permit must be displayed in the vehicle parked on campus.

Please carefully review the display requirements to help avoid parking citations throughout the year. A parking map is also available to help you select the correct permit and parking area. Once registration opens, a step-by-step online guide will be available to help you complete your vehicle and permit registration through the online system.

Important dates:

Please reach out to the Parking Office at parking@coloradocollege.edu or (719) 389-6888 if you have any questions.
