Course Listserv Instructions and Information

NOTE - Please read everything below before continuing with the subscription procedure.

To subscribe to a Listserv (automated e-mail distribution list) for a course (e.g., MECH102):

  1. Go to http://www.acns.colostate.edu/ListServ/SubscribeCourse
  2. Under Subscribe to a Course Mailing List, select the appropriate course list name (e.g., MECH102-L) in the List pull-down box.
  3. Enter your main e-mail address, from which you want to send and receive Listserv messages (see below). Be very careful entering your e-mail address and make sure it is correct and complete.
  4. Enter your full name.
  5. Click on the Submit button.
When you have completed the procedure above, your e-mail address will be included in the course Listserv distribution list.  Any messages sent to the Listserv address will be automatically sent to all members of the Listserv (the instructor and all students who have subscribed).  The address for the Listserv is the course list name you selected above (e.g., MECH102-L) followed by "@colostate.edu" (e.g., mech102-L@colostate.edu).

Your instructor will use the Listserv to send messages (general course announcements, answers to student questions, lecture comments, exam hints, etc.) to the entire class.  Students can also use the Listserv to share information with the class.  To send a message to the entire class, you must send the message from the e-mail address that you provided when you subscribed, because only Listserv members can send messages to the Listserv.
