Mailing lists are used to send an email to various groups of people. Common categories of campus constituents have auto-generated mailing lists that can be used by users with the appropriate permissions.
Sending mail to a list
You can only send email to lists for which you have permissions; unauthorized emails will be rejected automatically.

- Click To...
- Start typing the name of the list you wish to send to in the Global Address List, then find it and click on it, and click To ->.
- Click OK
Several categories of lists are maintained:
- Departments: Math Department, Business Office, etc.
- Courses: Email lists for a specific term are updated beginning the day after grades are posted for the previous term (e.g. if grades are due for the Spring term on June 1st, course listings will contain Spring data on June 1st and will update overnight and contain Summer data on June 2nd). Email lists are only generated for courses that are in session. Each course has a general mailing list as well as separate lists for each section. For example, em104DL@rose-hulman.edu will email all students in EM104 (regardless of section), while em104-01DL@rose-hulman.edu will only email students in section 01.
- Residence Halls: Like the course mailing lists, each residence hall has a list for the entire hall as well as floor specific lists. For example, deming@rose-hulman.edu will email all students living in Deming Hall while deming1@rose-hulman.edu will only email students living on Deming floor one.
Auto-generated lists cannot be directly manipulated except through corrections of Banner data.
