Set your Canvas Notifications Preferences

Canvas can send notification emails to your Evergreen email depending on activity in the course by you and/or the trainers.

Before you begin the training, adjust your preferences to determine the frequency and amount of notifications you would like to receive while working through the course.

  • From Canvas, click on Account in the menu bar at far left (this bar may appear green or dark gray).
  • At the pop-out window, click on Notifications.
  • At the Notifications Preferences page, locate the notification and click on the icon for your preferred setting.


For example, if you do not want to receive a Canvas email notification each time you complete a quiz:

  • Go to the notification setting for Grading and click on the X icon.
