Canvas Global Announcements offer brief and timely information to Canvas users. Global Announcements display as a notification on the top of a user's Canvas dashboard.

- Requests should be submitted 14 days ahead of the desired publication date.
- No more than two Canvas Global Announcements will be displayed at one time.
- Announcements are typically published on Mondays and remain for five business days.
- Global announcements will be approved at the discretion of the LMS Service Advisory Board or designee.
