When you become a member of the University, your email address is automatically entered as a recipient into some mailing lists. This allows the University to contact you with important information if necessary. To prevent unnecessary emails being sent to everyone at the University, very few individuals have permission to send to these mailing lists.

Newly admitted students who are not enrolled in any classes after the last possible day to enroll (typically the 2nd week of the semester) will be immediately removed from the automated mailing lists. Students on a Leave of Absence will continue to receive the messages.

Removal from this mailing list is determined by the rules set for the individual mailing lists that make up the recipients for this list.
Building Lists
The facilities department has automatically generated mailing lists for the occupants of each building on campus. This allows them to send announcements relating to work being carried out in specific areas of the University. The occupant list is generated from the information found for each employee in Workday. More information on the building mailing lists can be found on the Facilities department's building notifications page.
