Hi  @benjaminangelbu  Welcome to the Canvas Community! Yes, you can access your Canvas courses anywhere decent internet service is available. Are you a student? If you are, I'd recommend that you set your time zone in your profile to correspond with the local time zone of wherever you find yourself at the moment; that way, the due dates and times in your courses will adjust to local time and you won't inadvertently miss a deadline. For instructions on how to do that, please refer to https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10622-4212717410

Hi!

With the Canvas Student, Canvas Teacher, and Canvas Parent apps, you can get push notifications that are customized to your preferences. I find them to be very helpful and actually rely on them more than I do the email notifications for the important alerts.

Which role do you have in Canvas? Have you looked at the app? After you install, you can customize your settings for email and devices:

How do I manage my Canvas notification settings as a student?
