Students are now able to select a preferred email to receive all official college and district communications! Things to know: Students can change their preferred email at any time via Canvas (for preferred email within Canvas only) and eServices (for preferred email for all other Los Rios systems). Note: Because Canvas relies on Los Rios Gmail for the Google Apps integration to work properly, for now, the changes must be made separately in both eServices and Canvas. Rosters will now indicate which email a student prefers so that faculty always have the most current correct information available when attempting to contact a student. All students still have access to Los Rios Gmail if they prefer or need a .edu email account.
