Jump to what you are seeing
Website Down
The UTK website does not load for you.
- Open the page in a private window and on another network.
- Check status.utk.edu for an active incident.
- If it loads on another network, your own network or device settings are the cause.
Login Failed
Sign-in to a UTK system is refused. Check you are using your university account.
- Check the username and password, and check Caps Lock.
- If you changed your password recently, wait a few minutes before trying again.
- Try a private window to rule out old sessions.

Canvas Error
Canvas does not load, or a course shows an error.
- Check status.utk.edu for a Canvas incident.
- Reload in a private window, and check you are on the right course.
- Try another browser, since script blockers can stop Canvas loading.
- If it is down for every course, tell your instructor and the help desk.
Email Issues
University email does not send, receive, or sync to your device.
- Check whether webmail works in a browser. If it does, the problem is your device's mail settings.

MyUTK Portal
The MyUTK portal does not load, or one of its pages shows an error.

Wi-Fi Issues
Campus Wi-Fi connects but gives no internet, or it keeps dropping.

- Move closer to an access point, and check your device has its latest network driver.
- If a whole building has the problem, report it to the help desk with the building name.
Library Access
A library resource does not open, or it asks you to sign in again.
- Check you are signed in with your university account, and that your access is active.
- Open the resource from the library's own site, not an old saved link.
- Try a private window, since an old session can cause a sign-in loop.
Still not working?
