How to Adjust Your Notification Settings to Receive Notices at Your Email

If you would like to receive Announcements and assignment grading status  to your @georgefox.edu email account, check your Canvas Notification settings at the account level and within course sites.

Enter canvas.georgefox.edu

  • In the Navigation bar select Account
  • In Account select Notifications
  • Scroll down to the setting,  Announcements, which controls announcement postings sent to your @georgefox.edu email account when a student in a course
  • Notify Immediately - to receive each individual Announcement posting as an email
  • Daily Summary - to receive all Announcement postings in a daily batch
  • Weekly Summary - to receive all Announcement postings in a weekly batch
  • Notifications Off - to stop delivery of Announcement postings to your email
  • Scroll down to the setting, Grading , to change notifications sent when an assignment has been graded or the grade has been changed.

If you would like to control Notifications within a course, which will override Account Notifications , you can adjust Notification settings within an individual course.

  • Enter a course site
  • On the Home page select View Course Notifications
  • Locate the setting you would like to adjust and  click on the bell icon  to adjust email delivery frequency

Announcement Notifications are only delivered from Published courses. Announcement postings are not delivered to email if a course is unpublished (i.e., you do not have permission to enter the course site).
