Key Canvas Features
A few things that make life on Canvas easier — and worth knowing about from day one.
Your To-Do list

Single Sign-On
The To-Do list shows every upcoming assessment across all your units in one view. It's the fastest way to keep track of what's due and when. You'll find it on your Canvas dashboard and in the mobile app.
Ad-free video
YouTube videos embedded by your teachers play without ads inside Canvas. No interruptions, no recommendations pulling you away from class content.
Notifications
Canvas can email or push-notify you when an announcement is posted, when feedback lands or when a due date is approaching. Set your preferences in Account → Notifications.
Single Sign-On
One login for everything. Your JMC email signs you into Canvas, the Library and all JMC student services.
