How do I use the Student app on my iOS device?

When you log in to the Canvas Student app, the default landing page is the Dashboard.

To open your User Menu, tap the Menu icon.

To view your Dashboard, tap the Dashboard icon. The Dashboard displays all your current courses and groups, including your favorite courses. The Dashboard can also display overall grades in each course.

To view your calendar, tap the Calendar icon. The calendar displays events and assignments for your courses and groups.

To view your To Do list, tap the To Do icon. The To Do list gives a quick view of upcoming course activities that have not yet been completed.

The To Do List gives you a quick view of upcoming course activities that you have not yet completed. Each item is color-coordinated according to course and displays an icon for its activity type: assignment, discussion, or quiz [1].

Tapping an activity item [2] takes you to its corresponding page, so you could complete an assignment directly.

Note: Users with instructor roles will see To Do notifications about grading assignments.

To view Notifications, tap the Notifications icon.

Notifications gives you an overview of all course notifications such as changes to an assignment due date, newly created assignment, course announcement, or a reply to a subscribed discussion.

Like the To Do List, items in Notifications are color-coordinated by course and display activity type icons, including an icon for announcements. Tapping a notification item displays its corresponding page.

You can also view specific course notifications within each of your courses.

To view your inbox, tap the Inbox icon. The inbox displays all Conversations messages in the Student app.

If there are new items in the To Do list or Messages, a red indicator will appear next to the relevant icon. This indicator lets you know about updates in these areas when you are in another part of the app.
