Hiding your Email Address from all U of A Users
Last modified on 15 August 2025 10:53 AM
NOTICE: Please be advised that the content of this article may only be relevant for users concluding the final stages of course work on eClass or for users on the eClass External system. The eClass Learning Management System is currently in a read-only state that prohibits new courses, enrollments, and users from being added to the site. Credit courses and co-curricular courses at the UofA are now being delivered on Canvas, and full articles on how to use Canvas can be found here.

The default e-mail display setting in eClass is to 'Allow only other course members to see my email address'. This setting will allow users who are enrolled in the same course(s) as you are to navigate a list of all course participants and then click on your name to view your e-mail address. If you would like to achieve a higher level of privacy by hiding your email address from all users, you can follow the steps below:

  1. Navigate to the user dropdown menu by clicking on your name in the top right corner of eClass and select Profile.



  2. From your profile page, click on the Edit profile link under User details to access your profile settings.



  3. Under the General settings section, open the drop-down menu next to Email visibility and make sure you select the Hidden option.



  4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click the Update profile button.
