CFANS Automated E-mail Lists: Students

Automated e-mail lists for CFANS majors, graduate students and undergraduate students are used by the program administrators and the College to communicate with groups of students. These lists are automatically populated by student records.

Automated student list names are available as a file to approved users (CFANS Majors.ldif), and can be imported into the Thunderbird E-mail Client program as an addressbook. Send a request to cfans.help@umn.edu if you would like this file.

Who can post to these student lists?
Posting to these lists is restricted. Rights are granted according to appropriate need. If you would like access, send your request by e-mail to cfans.help@umn.edu. It may be the prerogative of the department head to have all postings to student lists funneled through one or a few individuals.

How are the lists maintained?
These lists are populated daily by enrollment data in PeopleSoft, and membership is based on the student’s declared major and academic (grad or undergrad) status.  The Graduate Student lists are updated each with fall enrollees on August 1 (if it does not fall on a weekend). Until that time, the graduate student list will contain the graduate students from the previous spring semester. As new graduate students enroll, the lists will be updated daily at 7:00 a.m. with the new enrollees.
