Using Conversations (Inbox) as a Student
How to Access Your Canvas Inbox
To view messages or send messages click the Inbox link in the global navigation. In Canvas all private messages (conversations) are connected to your LLC email address. On your profile you can specify other ways of contact that can include other email addresses or mobile numbers. It is recommended to adjust the notifications to your desired preferences before any classes start so you will be receiving messages when and where you want to them to appear. For example, if you set conversation messages to ASAP in your notifications, a copy of the message will display in your email account (Outlook, Gmail etc). View the video tutorial below or use the tabbed menu to learn more.
