Class Email List

Class email lists enable you to send announcements easily to everyone associated with your class. When you register for Email Announcement Lists, University IT creates an e-mail distribution list of all your students (along with three other email lists described below). This student list is kept up-to-date automatically, using current enrollment data from the Registrar, so you won’t have to subscribe or unsubscribe students as they add or drop the class. Please note that students’ "@stanford.edu" email addresses are the ones used for University IT class email lists. Students who use another account as a primary email address will need to forward the @stanford.edu address to the preferred address using StanfordYou.

Following are the lists included with University IT Course Support:

Created and updated automatically:

<classname>-<quarter>-students — Example: ee103-win0607-students@lists.stanford.edu

A list containing only the class students. The student list is auto-populated with information from the Registrar; it cannot be customized.

<classname>-<quarter>-all — Example: ee103-win0607-all@lists.stanford.edu

A list containing all members of the “students” list (Registrar-controlled) plus the members of the “staff” and “guests” lists.
