If I have someone who is harrasing me in my canvas inbox, is there a way to block them or their messages from reaching me?
Solved! Go to Solution.
HI @HollyRosengren,,
I assume that you're a student and that another student enrolled in the same class (or school) is sending you these unwanted messages. I would urge you to contact both your instructor and your institution. Check your school's website for information on how to report harassment. I might start with your school's Title IX office. Make sure to keep screenshots of the messages you are receiving and present them as evidence.
As far as the Canvas Inbox is concerned, I would think that your school's IT folks could help you with this, particularly if you have already enlisted the aid of both your instructor and your institution.
