Don’t Miss Your Important Canvas Messages!
In online courses, instructors post important class messages as Canvas announcements, or as messages through the Canvas inbox. They assume you see these messages when you aren’t logged in...but do you? By default, Canvas forwards notifications to students’ uMail accounts, but not everyone checks this inbox regularly. You can update your Canvas settings so notifications are sent instead to an email address you use more regularly –or even to your phone as SMS messages! You can also adjust your notification preferences so you hear from Canvas on a weekly, daily, or immediate basis.
Want to make sure you aren’t missing out on important information about your courses? Be sure to update your notification and contact settings today. These guides show you how:
