Instructors and students have the option to set up email confirmation notifications for doing such things as submitting assignments and quizzes, as well as receiving emails of forum digests when subscribed to discussion forums. A video Tutorial is available here.

Updating Your Notification Preferences
Step 1

In the upper right-hand corner of the screen, click on your photo (or your initials if you haven't uploaded a profile photo).

 Step 5
Alternately, you may disable all notifications by clicking the checkbox next to Disable all notifications.

However, please note that some notifications are locked to "on" and cannot be changed by this action. For instance, you will continue to get emails from Announcements forums, as these are a key communication tool for instructors.

Any changes made on this page are saved automatically, so you can click My Courses to return to your courses page.
