Set Your Notifications

Canvas allows you to customize how and when you would like to receive notifications from the course. For example, you can receive an email or text message each time I post an announcement or leave a comment on one of your submissions.

Please review and adjust your notification preferences.

We recommend turning ON immediate notifications for Announcements, Grading, Submission Comments, and Conversation Messages.
We recommend turning OFF immediate notifications for Discussion Posts.
