Why is the phone verification code not going to my phone it’s an iPhone 13
@DustinHarwell1 SMS is only supported for users utilizing the Canvas Multi-factor Authentication. If you are attempting to set up SMS to receive notifications from Canvas this is not supported, and the SMS verification codes will not be sent until the Multi Authentication is set up on your Canvas account. More on setting up SMS for Multi-Factor Authentication can be found in How do I add a text (SMS) contact method in Canvas as a student? . To receive notifications on your phone you would lost likely want to set up push notifications as Canvas does not send SMS messages for notifications. More on setting up push notifications on your device can be found in How do I manage my Canvas notification settings as a student?

Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. 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…
