Inbox

What is the Inbox?

The Inbox is a messaging tool used to communicate with a course, a group, an individual student, or a group of students. You can use the Inbox to communicate with others in your course.
Notes:
Users display in the Inbox once they have an active enrollment in the course, and users cannot join a course unless it is published.
Once a course has concluded and its term date has passed, you can no longer message students in that course.

They are updated based on workflow changes, not on minor or non-functional interface enhancements.

The Canvas interface for NUS may display differently than shown in this video, but the functionality is the same.
