Anthology Student – Citrix Desktop Access and Service Availability Update

We are providing an update regarding access to Anthology Student services that utilize Citrix.

Following the recent disclosure by Citrix of critical security vulnerabilities ( CVE-2026-88771, CVE-2026-88772, CVE-2026-88773, CVE-2026-88774, CVE-2026-88775, CVE-2026-88776, CVE-2026-88777, and CVE-2026-88778 ) affecting Citrix NetScaler, Ellucian took proactive steps to protect our customers by disabling Citrix-based access.

At this time, we have no evidence that customer data has been compromised as a result of these vulnerabilities. The decision to disable Citrix-based access was a proactive security measure taken in response to the vulnerabilities disclosed by Citrix. We continue to closely monitor and assess the situation and will communicate any material updates as they become available.

Anthology Student web access
We recommend that customers use the Anthology Student web client for supported functionality.
Some web-based services were also temporarily unavailable because they shared gateway infrastructure with Citrix. We are working to restore these services through an alternate secure access path, allowing them to operate independently of Citrix desktop access. We will communicate as these services become available.

We understand the importance of Anthology Student to your daily operations. Our priority is to protect your data and ensure secure access to your services. As we complete our security review, we are evaluating each service against that standard, and some may not be restored in their current form. We will share details on each service, including any alternatives, as soon as they are available.

We recognize that some institutions rely on Citrix desktop services. If your institution is one of them, please create a case directly with support.

We will continue to provide updates as additional services are restored.  For the latest information and service availability updates, please continue to monitor the Ellucian Status Page at status.anthology.com
