• Most courses will have the following links on the front page:
  • Full course description, reading list and exam dates
    • Here you will find the course description in the course catalogue on MF.no. The course description always contains the most important information about the course: the learning outcomes for the course, the reading list, and the exam date.

    • Here you will find the timetable for this course, on TimeEdit.
  • Study requirements and submission deadlines

5. Left column in Canvas (far left)

• Account
  • Here you can
    • Upload a profile picture
    • Enter another email address you want to use in connection with Canvas, if you wish
    • Enter your phone number, if you want notifications by SMS
    • Set your notifications. For each entry, you can choose whether you want to receive an email notification immediately, daily, weekly or never

If you have set up your phone number and/or have downloaded the Canvas Student app, you can also set the notifications for these.

• Overview/Dashboard
  • Here you can access the overview of your courses
• Calendar
  • Here you will find an overview of lectures, seminars and submission deadlines in your courses this semester
  • There is some overlap between Calendar and TimeEdit. Lectures and seminars are listed in both places, but deadlines for assignments are only listed here.
• Inbox
  • Inbox looks like email and works like email, but is not email. It is a messaging system internal to Canvas. Here you can send messages to your teachers and fellow students, and teachers will sometimes send messages here. If this is turned on in your notifications, you will also receive an email that you have received a message in your inbox in Canvas.

For more information about using Canvas, you can use the Canvas community or pages from other universities in Norway.
