Canvas account settings

You can configure your Canvas account settings if you need to make changes to your name, pronouns, default email, language and time zone while you're studying at AUT.

You can also configure notifications in Canvas, which can be pushed to a designated email address or the Canvas Student app.

Add an email address

In Canvas, if you have a default contact method, you may add additional contact methods to your Canvas account. Contact methods are used to communicate course updates and also instructor feedback to you.

• To add more contact methods, click on 'Account' from the global navigation in Canvas
• Select 'Settings'
• Choose '+Email Address' to add another email
• When finished, select the 'Register email' button

Notification preferences

Once you set up your contact methods, you may choose your notification preferences for each of the contact methods in your Canvas account. Notification preferences apply to all courses that you're enrolled in at AUT and allow you to choose what reminders you want to receive and how often.

To access your notification preferences click on 'Account in the navigation', then click on 'Notifications'.
