- In the global navigation menu, click Account. A pop-out menu will open.
- Click Settings. Your Canvas account settings page will open.
- In the Ways to Contact sidebar on the top-right side of the page, click + Email Address.
- Type your email address in the text field, then click Register Email.
- A Confirm Email Address window will appear indicating that Canvas has sent a confirmation to your email address. To close this window, click Ok, Thanks.
- Go to your newly added email account, and open the confirmation email that was sent by Canvas. Click the Click here to confirm this registration link in the email to complete registration.
Your email address is now added to your Canvas Account; you'll see it listed along with your preferred email address (i.e., the email address that you use as your Canvas login).
