Adding an Additional Email Address

This article describes the steps to add an additional email address in Canvas for students.

When you create a contact method in Canvas, you can use that contact method as a way to receive Canvas notifications. By default, notifications are sent to the email address used to create your Canvas account. However, you can add an additional email address if you do not want to use your existing email address or want to use an additional email for notifications.

• In Global Navigation, click the Account link, then click the Settings link.

• In the Ways to Contact section on the right hand side, click the Add Email Address link. 

• Type in the email address you want to add in the text field. When you are finished, click Register Email.

• Confirm Email Address: Open your email account you just added. Click the link that is in the email to finish registering the additional email address. You may have to check your junk mail folder.
• Note: If you need to resend the confirmation, click the Re-Send Confirmation link.

• Delete Email Address: If you would like to delete an email address, click the Delete icon next to the email you want to remove.

• Confirm Delete: Click on the OK button to confirm delete.
