You can personalize your notification preferences to determine which course activities you wish to receive notifications for and how often you wish to be notified.

From your Account menu, click the Notifications link to access and edit your preferences.

IMPORTANT! If you are an instructor who has taught in Blackboard in the past, you are accustomed to automatically receiving an email when you post a course announcement. In Canvas, you must edit your notification preferences to indicate that you wish to receive an email of announcements that you have created; these are not sent by default.
