You can set your Notification Preferences on Canvas to control what types of notices you receive regarding your classes, and you can also control how you receive them – email, push notifications, or both. To set Notification Preferences:
Step 1: Log into your Canvas account
The best way to access Canvas using your laptop or desktop computer is to go through your MyPortal account. After you sign into MyPortal, you should see the link for Canvas on your Favorite Apps list. You can also access your Canvas account by using the direct url – https://scccd.instructure.com
Step 2: Access your Notifications settings through your Account Profile
When you log into your Canvas account, the top menu option you see on the left side menu should be “Account”. Click on the Account link to access your account options. From the list of account options, click “Notifications” at the top of the list.
Step 3. Adjusting your Notification Settings
When the Notification Settings page opens, you will see a list of Course Activities on the left for which you can receive notifications. On the right, you will see options for email notifications and push notifications on your phone. There are 4 notification options for Email – Notify Immediately, Daily Summary, Weekly Summary, and Notifications Off. There are 2 notification options for Push Notifications – Notify Immediately, and Notifications Off. Each activity can be adjusted to your liking for email and push notifications.
