Ever get stuck on a problem and wish there was a way to see if anyone in your
Calculus class could help explain it? Have you ever taught a class and thought
"wouldn't it be great if I could send one email to all of my Biology 101
students?"
Well, thanks to the hard work of our Server Group, you can. For each Fall and
Spring Semester, class forum lists are generated and appear in the Address book
for students and professors to use. These lists begin to be created
approximately one week prior to the start of the semester, and continue to be
updated nightly from the class rosters in GullNet through the semester.
Some helpful things to know:
- Class lists are created approximately one week prior to the start of the
Spring and Fall semesters.
- Class lists are created from the class rosters in GullNet.
- Class lists are updated nightly throughout the semester.
- Class lists are entered in by subject-course-section, for example if you
were taking Accounting 101 section 004, you would find the class list for it
at acct-101-004.
- Professors and departments wishing to send to multiple classes should
note there is a 35 class list limit per email. Emails needing to go out to
more than 35 class lists should be split into separate groups.
- Class lists are automatically generated. You cannot add or remove
individuals from the lists.
- There are no class lists created for the Winter, Summer I and Summer II
semesters.
- The class lists are removed at the end of each semester.
- If you notice that a particular class or section is missing from the
class lists, depending on the time of year it could be that the forum hasn't
been generated yet, doesn't have any students, or could simply be missing.
Feel free to send an email to the
Help Desk and we'll look into any "missing" class lists.
- Class lists are considered an external address. You cannot retract your
email once it is sent, so please double-check your email before you hit
send.
