About U-Lists
» What are U-Lists?
U-Lists are course mailing lists for distributing messages to all the students enrolled in your classes. Student membership is based on enrollment data from the Office of the Registrar and is dynamically updated every other day.
◌
» Who can use U-Lists?
U-Lists can be used by any instructor of a class offered through the Office of the Registrar, whether you're faculty, a lecturer, or a teaching assistant. However, only faculty and lecturers are authorized to use the U-Lists Registration system. Teaching assistants must have the instructor of record or their faculty adviser activate a U-List for them.
◌
» I'm a graduate student teaching assistant and I need to register a U-List. How can I get one?
U-Lists are provided only to faculty and lecturers. You'll need to have the instructor on record or their faculty adviser activate a U-List for you.
◌
» Not all of my students use U-Mail. Can they use other e-mail addresses?
Yes. Students can elect to forward their U-Mail account to any other e-mail provider. However, whether a student uses U-Mail directly or forwards their U-Mail to another account, they are required by the Office of the Registrar to check this account for all official university business.

Using U-Lists
» Will students' e-mail addresses be visible in a message I send via U-Lists?
No. Messages sent via U-Lists are handled in such a way that they appear to have been sent directly from the instructor to the student. Even the list handling mechanism is transparent - students don't even see the original U-List address to which messages are sent.
◌
» I want to have a discussion list by which any enrolled student can send a message to the entire class. Is this possible?
No. Discussion lists are not supported at this time. We may offer them in the future if there's sufficient demand. Let us know if you're interested in this feature.
◌
» I have a single class with a number of sections? Can I create a single U-List encompassing all of my course sections?
No. To post a message to several course sections at once, you must register a separate U-List for each section and then include each of those U-List addresses as multiple To: addresses in your message.
◌
» I have students in my class that aren't yet registered. Can I add them to my U-List enrollments?
No. Because of our dynamic list enrollment updating system it's not possible to add enrollments to a given U-List. If you have additional students to which you wish to send a message you'll need to include them as an additional To: address in your message.
