In the Inbox, students and instructors can send in-course messages (similar to email) to each other. All communications with your instructor regarding coursework should take place within Canvas. This is for your protection in the event of a grievance.
Please be aware that, although no one has access to the Inbox unless extraordinary circumstances arise, all messages are archived. Please remain professional in your correspondence and proofread carefully for tone and clarity. Lacking verbal cues, it is easy to misinterpret remarks that may have been intended to be humorous or to misread your tone or intent.
