You may need to change your Canvas email address for various reasons.
For example, instructors of Live Online classes should change their email address in InstructorLink and Canvas to their UCSD email in order to use Zoom Pro features and the Zoom/Canvas integration.
When you change your email in InstructorLink, it may also be necessary to access your Canvas settings to change your email, remove an older email address, or make that new email address (e.g., your UCSD address) your primary email address.
How to access settings and modify your email address
1. In Canvas, click Account in the upper left corner and then click Settings.
2. Click Edit Settings on the right side of the page.
3. Click the + button (1) to add a new email if yours is not shown. Or if your UCSD email is shown but not starred, click in the star area (2) to make your account primary. Doing this will enable the Canvas/Zoom connection you need to schedule live Zoom meetings in Canvas.
4. Click Update Settings when you are finished changing your email settings.
