How do I change my default email address in my user account?
Your default email address is used as your main contact method in Canvas and is added when creating your Canvas account. Email addresses are used to create Canvas notifications; they are not used as a contact method for other Canvas users.
If you add another email address as a contact method, you can change your default email address in Canvas.

How do I change the settings in my user account?
Depending on how your Canvas account was created, you may be able to make changes to your name, default email, language, time zone, and password.
- Setting a chosen language will override any default language settings across your institution; however, any language set in a course will override your user language.
- Your institution may take care of updating or changing your password by using the password associated with your login credentials for Canvas.
- Users associated with a SIS ID cannot delete their own account.
Note: Some settings may not be available to you. If you are not able to edit your user settings, you will need to contact your institution to change this information.

How do I edit my profile in my user account?
Some institutions may enable a feature in Canvas called Profiles. Profiles allows you to update your name, preferred contact methods, and any personal links for your account. Your profile information can be viewed by all users in your courses.
Note: If you do not see the Profiles tab in your user navigation menu, this feature has not been enabled for your institution.

How do I change the language preference in my user account?
English is Canvas' language default, but you can choose to view the Canvas interface in another language.
Note: Instructors have the option to change the language preference for their courses. If you enroll in a course where the instructor has made this change (most often for a foreign language course), the course language will override the language in your user settings.
