D2L Notifications Setup for Students

Notifications allows you to control when and how you receive notifications about activities in your course. Students can choose to receive instant notifications via email either never, daily or weekly. Notifications is user specific, which means instructors are unable to set this up on behalf of students.

To access Notifications settings:

  1. Click on Notifications from your personal menu on the Minibar. This is located on the top, right-hand corner of your D2L page.
  2. By default, you will receive email notifications to your ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ email. However, you can change it to another email address by clicking on Change your email settings, located in the Contact Methods section.
  3. Select the Instant Notifications you wish to receive via email by checking the box next to the options. It is recommended that students select the following notification options:
    • Dropbox - assignment feedback released
    • Dropbox - assignment feedback updated
