In Global Navigation, click the Account link [1], then click the Notifications link [2].

On the Notification Settings page, you can manage notification settings for your Canvas account and/or manage notification settings for individual courses using the Settings for dropdown menu.  

By default, the Settings for dropdown displays the Account option [1].  A banner displays stating account-level notification settings apply to all of your Canvas courses, however, any course-specific notification settings override account notification settings [2]. To dismiss the message, click the Close icon [3].

A banner displays when daily and weekly messages are delivered [4]. To dismiss the message, click the Close icon [5].

View the account-level notification types [6] and your listed contact methods [7].

Each notification has a default delivery frequency setting. To view the current notification delivery frequency for a notification type and contact method, hover over the notification icon [8].

To allow or disallow the name of the observed student to display in notifications, use the Show name of observed students in notifications toggle [1]. Currently only grade update notifications include observed student names.

To change a notification delivery frequency for a contact method, locate the notification and contact method. Then click the notification icon [2]. You can select one of four delivery frequency types:

• Notify immediately [3]: receive these notifications right away. These notifications may be delayed by up to one hour in case an instructor makes additional changes, which prevents you from being spammed by multiple notifications in a short amount of time.
• Daily summary [4]: receive a daily summary for this notification type.
• Weekly summary [5]: receive a weekly summary for this notification type.
• Notifications off [6]:  no notifications sent for this notification type.

Notes:

• Account-level notification settings automatically apply to all of your courses. However, you may be able to manage notifications for a single course.
• Twitter notification settings do not support daily summary or weekly summary options.
• Unregistered contact methods display on the Account Notification Settings page but notifications will not be sent until you confirm the registration.
