- Change your notification preferences
To do any of the above, click Account on the left menu bar, then Settings or Notifications in the Account menu.

NOTIFICATIONS
Canvas gives you the option to receive a variety of different notifications. You can also set different levels of frequency for each type of notification Canvas offers.
To begin, click on Account in the left menu bar as before.
Click Notifications in the Account menu.
By clicking in one of the notification columns you can change the frequency of the notification. There are four options:
- Notify me right away
- Send daily summary
- Send weekly summary
- Do not send me anything
For email notifications, the default address your notifications will be sent to is the email address listed on your Canvas settings.
Please make sure the Submissions setting is set to Notify me right away This is important as it ensures you will receive a Notification to your email address when your tutor returns your marked assignments.
