Canvas allows you to edit your details in three key ways. You can:

Upload a profile picture
Add a mobile telephone number to receive SMS notifications
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.

UPLOAD A PICTURE

To upload a picture, click on Settings. Click on the empty picture box next to your name and you will be taken to a page from where you can upload a picture from your computer to act as your profile picture. See ADDING A PROFILE PICTURE TO YOUR CANVAS ACCOUNT

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.

We recommend that you leave your notifications set to the default option of your email address.

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.
