Before the e-mail is sent to allstudents@umflint.edu, these guidelines should be followed to determine if the e-mail should rightfully be sent to the list. If the message does not meet these guidelines, the user should send the message to umf_students@list.umflint.edu (the Student Mail Digest) instead.

  • The message should be official University business only.*
    • It should be relevant to the student's course of study OR
    • To announce changes in University published materials (e.g. changes to the course catalog, etc.) OR
    • To announce changes in the availability of campus-wide resources (e.g. changes to the Library hours due to semester changeover, etc.) OR
    • To announce changes to institutional policies (e.g. change in the fee structure for students, etc.)
  • The message should be time-critical, meaning that its value to the student would be drastically reduced, or destroyed, by sending it via slower means.
  • The message should be conveyed in as brief a manner as possible.  Please see Email Etiquette Tips  for more information.
  • Relevant messages should be sent only once. No repeat or reminder messages will be allowed. Messages posted to allstudents@umflint.edu should not also be posted to umf_students@list.umflint.edu (the Student Mail Digest).
  • No attachments are allowed to be sent to the list.

    * Due to numerous responses by several departments on campus, the Technology Committee has agreed to let the current list of departments send one email message per month to allstudents@umflint.edu to announce University sponsored programs that may not meet the guidelines addressed in point #1. Please contact Mark Turnpaugh in ITS at 766-6804 if you have any questions.
