How can students turn off email notifications?

There are some automated student related email notifications that can be turned off at a per student level!

What notifications can students manage?

Students can turn off the following notifications from within their account settings:

• Weekly reminder email - Receive a weekly email to remind you to continue progressing through your courses. This only applies if this email is turned on by the Site Owner or Site Admin.
• Discussion replies - Receive an email when someone replies to a discussion post you created.
• Community activity - Receive an email when someone comments in posts that you follow.

How to Turn Off Email Notifications in a Student Account

1. Login to your student account
2. Select your name on the top right
3. In the dropdown menu, select My Account
4. Select Notifications on the left
5. To turn off a notification, uncheck the box to the left of the description
6. Click Save Changes

Community Notifications

Community notifications can also be turned off directly from any Community a student has access to. Turning off Community notifications is global. If they turn off notifications in one Community, it will apply to all Communities.

1. Login to your student account
2. Go to My Dashboard
3. Select a Community you have access to
4. Once you are in the Community, select your name on the top right
5. In the dropdown menu, select Manage notifications
6. Make sure All comments is selected if you would like to be notified by email for every comment in posts you follow. OR select Off if you do not want to be notified for any comments.
7. Click Save

To manage notifications per post, check out Community Guide for Students!

Important Considerations

These particular notifications can only be turned off at a per-student basis by the student, a Site Owner or Site Admin cannot turn them off at a per-student level. They can be turned off site wide, which you can see instructions on here: Automated Email Notifications
