Class Lists

Mailing lists are automatically created for all UM-Dearborn classes. Faculty members have the option of using them to facilitate class discussions.

Lists are created at the start of a term and deleted at the beginning of the following term. Membership is based on class enrollment data contained in the Banner Student Information System. The lists include only the UM-Dearborn mail address assigned to students. Students should be reminded to read their UM-D mail, or forward it to the mail account they prefer to use. Using their UM-D mail account will also allow them to receive official communication for various student services.

Each class list is managed (owned) by the instructor who is assigned to the class in Banner. If you are listed as the owner, you can use or modify the list.  If you are not listed, your department's Administrative Assistant needs to contact the Registrar's Office to be assigned to the class.

In order to use the class list, the assigned instructor must activate the list in the UM-Dearborn Directory.  If you do not wish to use class lists to communicate with your students, you do not need to do anything. The instructor has the option of using the class list to post announcements only or enabling class discussions among class members. There is also an option for including non-class members on the list as recipients only.

For privacy reasons, personal information about student identities is not viewable on the list.
ITS will not activate a class mail list unless explicitly requested by the assigned instructor.
