AppsAnywhere unavailable

AppsAnywhere is currently unavailable due to a security vulnerability identified by the vendor. As a precautionary measure, the service has been taken offline by the vendor while the required remediation is completed.

AppsAnywhere applications that are currently open may continue to function, but may experience disruption throughout the outage. We ask instructors to determine whether the disruption will affect their ability to deliver their scheduled classes this afternoon and evening, and reschedule or cancel classes as required.
