We are currently investigating an issue where some students have temporarily lost access to their Winter 2026 courses in Brightspace.

• Status: Our technical team is actively working to restore enrollments.
• Data Integrity: Please be assured that no course data, grades, or student submissions have been lost.
• Action Required: No action is needed from students or faculty at this time.

We appreciate your patience and will post a follow-up announcement as soon as access is fully restored.

Update at 4:02 p.m.:

The technical issue affecting Winter 2026 course access has been resolved. Full access for all impacted students is now restored. All enrollments have been reactivated. No course data, grades, or student submissions have been lost.

The root cause of the disruption was traced to a programming error introduced in TMU’s resource and identity management system this morning. This issue affected approximately 14,000 enrollments between 8:00 and 11:15am. The error was corrected and the enrollments restored. All enrollments were restored by 2:28pm. CCS apologizes for the problem this error created and will work systematically to ensure that something like this does not happen again.

Action Required: If you still do not see your course, please log out and log back in, or clear your browser’s cache. 

Please accept our apologies for the trouble this has caused.

In the last few weeks, CCS occasionally has been receiving reports of Google Authenticator App on Android phones no longer showing the two-factor codes. This issue seems to be more frequent this past week. The cause has not been identified, and CCS continues to investigate the issue. 

If you currently have issues with your Google Authenticator App, please see below –

• If you can still log in to the my.torontomu.ca portal from a device you have logged on from within the last 30 days or have access to your two-factor backup codes, please log in and navigate to Self Service > Personal Account > Two-Factor Authentication to revoke the mobile device currently registered in your account and set up the device again.

• If you are unable to log in to your account at all, please call the CCS Help Desk to obtain an emergency code. Once you get this emergency code and are able to authenticate again, please follow the same steps above to navigate to the Two-Factor Authentication settings page to redo your two-factor authentication setup. 

Please visit the Two-Factor Authentication page for instructions on setting up your two-factor authentication for Android phone. The CCS Help Desk summer hours of operations can be found on this page.
