I'm an Admin at my univeristy and we started receiving support tickets about user not reciving email notifications even though their notification settings (global and individual course) turned on.
Has anyone else been getting similar reports?
I would suggest checking with folks on your IS team about any filter that may be blocking.
The difference is: Are the emails being sent by Canvas? If yes, why are they not being received by your district?
You can Check to see if email notifications are being sent.
I have had this with specific users here and there in the past. We have outlook and sometimes they are getting notifications to their "Other" folder instead of their "Focused" folder.

The most recent quizzes and question banks (including renames) are not showing up as options in the Course Import Tool. As I was creating a new quiz in one course (Classic), I went to add the questions from the Question Bank, but what I needed wasn't there. I went back to the other course to make sure everything was…
In the wake of the recent Canvas security incident, many instructors are rethinking how they protect their course materials and ensure continuity for students if the LMS becomes unavailable. A common question we’re hearing is how to effectively back up courses “just in case,” especially with an eye toward re‑distributing…
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…
Canvas Portfolios provide a powerful platform for students to document their learning journey, reflect on their progress, and showcase competencies.
