How Can I Update My Canvas Notification Preferences?

You are able to set preferences for how frequently you receive notifications from Canvas. We do encourage you to have your notifications set up to "notify immediately" for student communications and submissions.

To access your notification settings, navigate to the Account icon on your Dashboard, then click the Notifications option. 

When you select this, it gives you a listing of all of the course activities. You can hover over each activity, and Canvas will prompt you as to what each activity means, and you can select which option you'd like as far as your notifications. 

You can select how often you wish to receive a notification, if at all. 

You can select to be notified right away, whether you get a daily summary, a weekly summary, or nothing at all. 

To change them, click on any option you prefer. Your selection will be saved automatically.
