Student Pronouns in Canvas (Instructor Guide)

Students have the option to go to Axess to select their pronouns and their selection will show up in various areas in Canvas. If you do not see pronouns for certain students, it means they have not selected their pronouns.

In addition to where pronouns are visible to other students, instructors can see student pronouns in the following areas:

  • When creating Differentiated Assignment, Quiz, and Discussion items
