Users can have pronouns of their choice displayed in Canvas. In order to make this change, a user should:
- Visit their User Settings page (under Account on the Global Navigation bar)
- Click edit settings on the right hand side
- Select from the dropdown list of pronouns that appears on the left hand side
Only pronouns set by the Canvas admin can be selected; users cannot manually add their own pronouns.
Once a pronoun is selected by a user, the pronoun currently displays in the majority of Canvas course and user areas (as visible for each applicable role):
- Course Sections list (instructor)
- Student Context Card (instructor)
- SpeedGrader (instructor)
- Assignment creation menu (instructor)
- Assignment peer review page (instructor)
- User Navigation Menu
- User Settings page/User profile page
- Inbox
- Discussions
- Course People page
- Groups People page
- Comment Fields
