Can the Announcements also be populated in the student email of the university . In another LMS I used, one has the option to send the Announcement as an email to the students' university email account
@PatriciaScherne ...
Every user in Canvas (instructors, students, etc.) has their own notification settings that can be configured in Canvas. For example, you and your students can go to the "Account" >> "Notifications" screen in Canvas, and here is where you and your students can configure whether or not you want to receive notifications via e-mail address when announcements are sent. This is an individual user setting, so you cannot configure this for your students. Students set these options on their own. (Some students may not want to get notified via e-mail about announcements while others may want to get notified about them. The first two Guides are for setting these notifications for all courses, and the second two Guides are for setting these kinds of notifications at the course level.
I hope this will help a bit. Let Community members know if you have any other questions about this...thanks!
Hi @PatriciaScherne,
In Canvas, unlike some other LMSes, each user has control of their notification preferences (what is sent to their email or other locations). By default, email notifications about announcements will go to student emails, but each student can turn that on or off as they desire. There is no way for a teacher to override student notification preferences.

Hi all, Quick question about the Gradebook color status for a 2-part checkpoint discussion. If a student completes the first due date (initial post) but does not complete the required replies by the second due date, is there any way for Canvas to automatically show a color (e.g., missing/late) instead of staying as…
We have recently encountered an issue where two students were unable to see the "Take the Quiz" button. These students were taking different exams for different courses within our Testing Center. Both exams required Respondus LockDown Browser and were restricted to specific IP addresses. In both cases, the students were…
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…
