[ARCHIVED] Changing Primary Account Set-Up Email

[engine66captain]

How do I change my default email? I added school district email, but started with personal email and wondering if my personal email is going to be shared with students or can I choose which email is used. Thanks!

Hello @engine66captain ...

In Canvas, you can go to our "Account" >> "Settings" screen, and then you can add additional e-mail addresses on the right side of that screen.  This is also where you can mark any e-mails addresses listed there as the "default" by placing a star next to it.  I'm not sure if you are an instructor or a student, but here are the Guides to look at (essentially the same for either role):

• How do I add an additional email address as a contact method in Canvas as an instructor?
• How do I add an additional email address as a contact method in Canvas as a student?
• How do I change my default email address in my user account as an instructor?
• How do I change my default email address in my user account as a student?

I hope these resources will be of help to you.  Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!  Take care, stay safe, and be well.
