Each student and instructor can manage their own Brightspace notification settings.

To ensure that you receive emails from the Purchase tenant of Brightspace, make sure that your primary campus affiliation and email address is set to Purchase by reviewing your “Account Check” widget.

Look for your “Account Check” widget on your Brightspace main page. Review your account information and if you are a full-time Purchase student, ensure that your primary campus affiliation is with Purchase and that Brightspace is using your correct Purchase email account to communicate with you. If it is not, please create a ticket with the SUNY Online Help Desk to request that the information be updated.

Choose What Brightspace Notifies You About

To manage your Brightspace notifications, click on your name in the upper right corner and click “Notifications.” By default, you will receive an email notification when a new Announcement is made or updated. Check the appropriate box(es) to receive notifications for those actions. Remember to click on the “Save” button when you’re done.

Receive a Daily or Weekly Digest of Notifications

You can also opt to receive a daily or weekly digest of your Brightspace notifications. 

• Look for the “Summary of Activity” section and choose the frequency you prefer: Never, Daily, or Weekly
• Next, specify the desired time and day of the week that you will receive your digest
• Remember to click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page

More about Notifications can be found at the “Change personal settings in Brightspace” official Brightspace Community documentation.
