Canvas allows users to control how communications are received and to add a profile picture to their account. Canvas can also be accessed using a mobile device, with the Canvas App.

Notification Settings:

It is important for users to update their notification settings in Canvas. Users are required have an active notification for Announcements and Conversation Messages. These notification settings will determine how important course information is communicated to you. Please note that you cannot change your Email address in Canvas. If you do, it will be changed back to the Email that is in Web Advisor. However, you can add an additional Email address for notifications. The video and documentation below will show you how to customize your notification settings: How Do I Set My Canvas Notification Preferences?, How Do I Add an Additional Email Address as a Contact Method?, How Do I Add a Text (SMS) Contact Method in Canvas?

Add a Profile Picture:

When you are participating in a course online, it is recommended that you add a profile picture to your account. This only has to be done once. This will help your classmates and your instructor get to know you a little better by being able to put a "fact with a name." The video and documentation below will show you how to customize your notification settings: How Do I Add a Profile Picture In My User Account?
