Canvas users will not be able to access Canvas via the Internet Explorer 11 browser.

Instructure, the makers of Canvas, deprecated functional support of Internet Explorer version 11 (IE11) on August 3rd. This was previously announced in the Canvas Community in April of this year. This meant that Instructure would no longer be testing and running QA with our releases and updates in IE11. As of August 30th, the IE11 Browser has now had all support and access deprecated since current functionality in IE11 no longer reflects the quality user experience that users have come to expect from Instructure.

Any user who now tries to load Canvas using Internet Explorer is automatically redirected to an "Unsupported Browser" page and is provided links to how they can upgrade to a Canvas-supported browser.
