I need to change the email associated with my account

I need to change the email address that is currently associated with my Canvas account, but I don't see a way to do so.

Hi there! You might not be able to change the email address associated with your account, depending on what permissions your institution has set.

If you are able to change your email, you would select the "Account" icon in the upper left corner (if you're on desktop) and select "Settings" From there, you should see "Ways to Contact" listed on the right side, with the option to add/alter your email addresses.

If you do not see those options, then you will need to contact the Canvas administrator at your institution.

Hello @LydieP

You can change your default email by clicking on Account - Settings- and adding/adjusting them on the right. Here is the Canvas guide:

If for some reason, you are unable to add another email and make it your default email (highlighted star), you may need to speak with your school directly. Some schools disable this feature. Hopefully this helps!
