Some frequently asked questions regarding Course mail lists are:
- What is a Course mail list?
Course mail lists are a type of mailing list used in academic courses.
Course mail lists are created by the faculty member through the UMEG
system, and automatically include all students who were enrolled in the
course at the time the list was created. Students are automatically added
when they add the class, and automatically removed if they drop the class.
Posting to the list is initially restricted to the instructor and any TA(s)
of record, but may be modified by the list owner.
- If a student adds the course after I've created the Course mail
reflector, will they be automatically added to the list?
The answer to this is yes, as long as they have a valid address
entered into the Testudo system. If they have not put an address into Testudo,
there is no e-mail source to retrieve, and they will not be added to the
list. You may want to remind students of this.
- If a student drops the course after I've created the Course mail
reflector, will they be automatically removed from the list?
The answer to this is yes, as long as they have not modified their
e-mail address in the Testudo system since the list creation. If they've done
so, there will not be a match found for the current list address, and it
will not be removed.
- Can I just delete and re-create the Course mail list if I wish
to?
The answer to this is yes, but is not an immediate process. To do
this, you would need to submit a request to have
the list deleted. Once this is done and you have received notification back (via
e-mail), you can then re-create the list following the same procedure
you did
originally.
