Prevent Users from Changing Account Settings

I am wondering if anyone has tried to prevent students/users from changing their default email addresses in Canvas.

We require students to use their institutional email account for ALL communication within our university (for several reasons, which I know you all understand). However, I cannot seem to figure out how to prevent users from changing these settings. My main issue is keeping students from changing their default email address. Does anyone have a workaround for that, or am I missing a setting?

At the University of Florida we added the following to our CSS to hide the buttons for users to add communication channels (not perfect but covers most users).

.add_email_link {

    display: none;

}

.add_contact_link {

    display: none;

}
