🔔 Stay Up to Date

Canvas provides several ways to help you stay informed about what's happening in your courses.

Announcements

Your instructors can use announcements to share important course information and updates.

Canvas Inbox

Canvas Inbox allows you to send and receive course-related messages.

Notifications

You can manage how Canvas notifies you about activity in your courses.

Tip: Even with notifications enabled, make a habit of regularly logging in to Canvas and checking your courses for announcements, assignments, and other updates.

📱 Canvas on Your Phone

Want to check your courses while you're on the go?

The Canvas Student app provides mobile access to many Canvas features. You can use it to check your courses, announcements, assignments, grades, and other course information.

For some course activities, your instructor may recommend using Canvas from a computer rather than a mobile device.
