Update your Profile & Notification Preferences

Update Your Profile

1. Open your profile by clicking on the Account icon in the left-hand corner.

2. Click on Profile and then Edit Profile to edit it.

Notifications

Notification Preferences allow users to select how and when they want to be notified when various events occur within a course. Notification settings are applied to all courses. Canvas users can choose how often they want to receive Canvas notifications.

Communication Channels

First, set the ways you want to be notified. Canvas supports notification through email, SMS text message, and Twitter. You account already has your college email address as a communication channel.

If you want to receive notification as text messages on your phone, click on the Account icon in the left-hand corner and then Settings. Then click the Add Contact Method on the right.

Set Your Notifications

To set your notification preferences, click on the Account icon and then Notifications. You can hover your mouse over a course activity item to see a description of that notification. Hover over the notification type you want to change and choose right away (1), daily (2), weekly (3), none (4).

WPI strongly recommends changing all your notifications for Conversations, Conversations Created By Me, Announcements, and Announcements Created By You to right away in order to receive copies of all class communications (including ones you've sent to the class).
