How to Access Courses in Canvas
Canvas can be accessed through the MyU portal under Key Links or on the Academics tab, or by going directly to canvas.umn.edu.
Your first time logging into Canvas you must accept the “terms of use”. If you don’t, you will not be able to see your classes.
If you don't see a course site for a class you are enrolled in, it's likely it has not yet been published by the instructor, or they are not using Canvas for the course.

Canvas includes a set of default notification preferences you can receive for your courses. However, you can change the default settings by setting your own notification preferences. These preferences only apply to you; they are not used to control how course updates are sent to other users.
