In Canvas, you can receive notifications through your email, the Canvas app, or via text. These notifications include changes in course activities, scheduling, and general Canvas alerts. Learn about Canvas notifications in depth, including default notification settings, via Instructure’s Canvas Notifications PDF.

It is possible to disable/enable incoming notifications across all courses or for specific courses in Canvas. By default, notifications for a course are enabled and match your account-level notification settings. If for some reason you do not want any notifications from a course, you can disable incoming notifications for that specific course.

For instructions on changing course-level notifications, see How do I manage notifications for a single course as an instructor? See also the Course Activity Stream options listed in the CanvasNotifications pdf.
