Answer:
Yes. You can notify students by creating a course announcement.
Go to Courses → [Select Course] → Communications → Announcements, then click New Course Announcement.
In the announcement window:
- Enter a Title and Date (students will only see announcements on or after this date).
- You can optionally set a Display Until date or mark it as Pinned to keep it at the top of the list.
- If you want students to receive an email notification, make sure Send Notification is checked.
The announcement will appear in the students’ portal under the course and will also email all enrolled students if notifications are enabled.
You can use this for schedule updates, cancellations, or any other important class announcements.
