How do I email my instructor?

Canvas provides an inter-Canvas email, or what Canvas calls Conversations, which is listed as the Inbox on your left side menu. Students can communicate with instructors and other students within their classes. The Canvas Inbox is a closed system. Messages cannot be sent or received from addresses outside of the course.

Communicating with your instructor in a professional manner is essential. To cut down on confusion, when asking questions, do so in a precise way, including all pertinent information.
