Updated September 28, 2022

Resolved: The University of Guelph has notified us that our peer evaluation tool, PEAR, is back up and operational, as of September 26th.

Please note that there is data loss for a short window of time on Sept 10 between 6:00am and 11:30am. In the event that you made updates in PEAR during this time, you will need to re-do those changes or file submissions. For more information see:

We appreciate your patience during this outage and apologize for the inconvenience.


What is happening? There was an incident that impacted institutional IT at the University of Guelph the beginning of last week. As a result, at this time, access to many central systems has been temporarily paused, including PEAR.

The University of Guelph is working to resolve the situation and return systems to normal operations. More information will be shared when available.

We apologize for any inconvenience.
