Students Getting Started: Customize Your Settings

Customize Your Notification Settings

bCourses includes a set of default notification settings you can receive for your courses. However, you can change the default settings by setting your own notification settings. These settings only apply to you; they are not used to control how course updates are sent to other users.

• How do I add an additional email address as a contact method in Canvas?

Customize Your User Settings and Profile Picture

You can manage your personal user settings to customize how you interact with and appear within bCourses.

• What are User Settings?
• How do I change the settings in my user account?
• How do I add a profile picture in my user account?
• How do I change my name or pronouns in bCourses?

Linking your bCourses Calendar

You may also want to link your bCourses calendar with the calendar that you normally use to keep track of your day.
