I changed my display name a while ago and for some reason its not letting me change it back to my name. Is there a solution to this?
Hello @JulianDirks ...
I would recommend that you reach out to your school's Canvas administrator about this question. Your Canvas administrator may have changed some settings at the account level so that display names cannot be changed by users in your Canvas environment. Hopefully you'll be able to connect with someone at your school soon. Good luck!
Hello @JulianDirks
Many schools disable the feature for students to be able to change their names on Canvas. If you were able to do it in the past but not now, it is likely the school changed those permissions. You would want to speak with your school's registrar office who can make the changes that also reflect in Canvas. If you want to check first, Here is the Canvas guide:
https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-change-the-settings-in-my-user-account-as-a-student/ta-p/423
If it isn't an option to click into your name and delete/type then it has been disabled and you'll need to speak with your school directly.
Es necesario que quién tiene el rol de Administrador haga ese cambio o lo habilite.

If I set…

Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies. However, in programs where multiple educators are involved in assessment—such as team teaching, moderation, or competency-based evaluation—there are important questions about…
I have a student that was in a tag called "ac" and recently moved him to a different tag, "AC." I did ensure the old tag was removed; however on a canvas PAGE he sees both pages the "ac" and "AC" Canvas Pages. I removed the assigned tags to the page and the one tag to the student thinking maybe if I remove and reassign…
