Does anyone know how to find the student email address to which Canvas sends invites? We just had a problem with a student not receiving their Canvas invite, and we wanted to double-check the email address, Canvas sent it to, but we can't find it.
By canvas invite do you mean an invite to a course? If the user is already in Canvas you can search for the user using the people tab, click on the user in the results, and look at email(s) that show up under login information.
If you're talking about adding a new user to your canvas instance (so that the user can then be invited to or enrolled in courses) the Add button, in the user interface an email is entered - I would check the source of that email and compare it to the invitee's known email. If enrollment was via css upload or API again an email would have been entered.
At the least yo9u could try inviting the person again
Hi @LynzWilmsey,
If the Canvas user account has notifications enabled, as an LMS administrator, you should be able to go to "Admin Tools > View Notifications" and review the notifications that they received. For each notification that appears in the results, the "To" field will show where the notification was sent. In my experience, for the "To" field, the individual notification will say either "push" (to a mobile device, through the Canvas app) or display their email address (whether the email address provided by the institution or one provided by the user).

I'm trying to figure out whether Canvas Portfolio will work for me this year with my 11th graders. We are introducing a curriculum that has a portfolio component but does not specify the platform. I would like to try Evaluation Portfolios but am confused by the information in the guides. The Guide for Portfolio says Once…
I am setting up my courses for this year and I realized that when I opend the mastery-based gradebook, there is no color coding. When I open last years's course that had color-coding last time I opened it in the spring, it no longer has colors. The colors appear in the individual student view, but not in the all class view.
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…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? 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…
