User Settings & Notifications

In UNM Canvas you can add an image to your profile, modify your personal pronouns, add a secondary email address, and edit notifications.

Under Account, Profile is the second item down.     From left menu - Account, then 4th down - Settings.

  • How do I select personal pronouns in my user account as a student?
  • How do I add an additional email address as a contact method in Canvas as a student?
  • How do I update my preferred/affirmed name?

Notification Settings

The Inbox (Conversations) tool in Canvas is entirely contained inside the LMS, keeping everything safely in one place. That said, you can modify your contact methods to add email accounts.
