Communication FAQs

  1. How do I change the Notifications settings?
  2. What is the difference between Canvas Announcements and Inbox/Conversations?
    • Announcements are usually time-sensitive information sent to all students not requiring a response (can be closed for comments after posting to prevent replies to the whole class).
    • Canvas Inbox/Conversations are for private information between instructors and students, typically individual or groups of students.
    • Both options send an email to the students.
    • Course must be published in order for students to receive a notification of an announcement.
  3. How do I reply to a Canvas email from my Gmail account?
  4. I am having trouble receiving emails from Canvas to my Humboldt Gmail account. If you use an email alias, e.g., Janet.Johnson@humboldt.edu, you must add this email address to Canvas in order to receive notices directly from Canvas to Gmail.
  5. How do I contact my students in Canvas?
