Access to a program that serves as a hub for University of Missouri students and instructors has been restored.

The University of Missouri said Friday that Instructure, which operates the Canvas learning management system, has fixed security problems that had made the program unavailable. MU students and instructors use the system to turn in work and provide grades.

MU encouraged users Friday to be careful for suspicious activity when using the system.

Security issues had Canvas offline throughout Thursday, affecting thousands of students at schools across the country.
