Verifying Your Email in Canvas: Why It Matters
If you haven’t verified your email in Canvas, you will not receive important notifications, including:
- Inbox messages
- Course announcements
- Grade postings
This is crucial for staying informed and ensuring your success in your courses.
NOTE: Even though you might not check your student/Maricopa email, please do not remove it from your account this can cause other connections to stop working.
✅ How to Check If Your Email Is Verified
- Go to your Canvas Account Settings.
Find your email address listed there.
- If you see a warning symbol (indicated by an exclamation point in a circle) next to your email, it means your email is not yet verified.
- Click on the email address and select Resend Verification Email.
- Check your inbox (and spam folder) for the email and follow the instructions to verify.
