On-Line Services for Student Organizations at UNT

Academic Computing Services provides several kinds of support to meet the on-line communications needs of student organizations. Academic Computing provides these services at no cost to student organizations. To take advantage of these services, your organization must be registered with the UNT Student Association. A brief description of on-line services is included here. For additional information about any of these services, contact the Computing Center Help Desk at 565-2324 (helpdesk@unt.edu).

Electronic Mail

Academic Computing can set up an electronic mail alias to serve as the address for all E-mail coming to your organization. The alias will route incoming mail to a designated member or members of your organization, usually an organization officer. The address will be in the format organization_name@unt.edu. Organization_name can be a suitable abbreviation, if the full name is too long to be an E-mail address. Once the alias is enabled, mail sent to the organization's address will be forwarded to an existing E-mail account owned by the specified officers or members. If needed, Academic Computing can provide technical assistance in setting up a mail filing procedure to keep all organization mail separate from an officer's personal mail. For more information about setting up an E-mail address, contact Marc St. Gil (mstgil@unt.edu) or just send E-mail to postmaster@unt.edu.

Organization Mailing Lists

Academic Computing can create an electronic mailing list of your organization's members that you can use to send electronic mail announcements and information to members of your organization. Once the list has been created, a designated officer in your organization can maintain the list, adding or deleting mail addresses as needed. To set up a mailing list,contact Marc St. Gil (mstgil@unt.edu) or just send E-mail to postmaster@unt.edu.

USENET News Groups

UNT supports local USENET news groups for the purposes of posting announcements and conducting on-line discussions on various topics. Student organizations can request the creation of their own news group, which will be viewable only by UNT students, faculty, and staff. Newsgroup names for UNT organizations are in the format unt.org.organization_name. Organization_name can be a suitable abbreviation, if the full name is too long to be a news address. If you wish to set up an organization news group, contact Bahram Paiani (bahram@unt.edu) or just send E-mail to news@unt.edu.

Organization Web Pages

Academic Computing is providing space on UNT's central World Wide Web server specifically for UNT student organizations. You are responsible for developing all Web page content. Once your page has been loaded on the server, your organization's Web page will be part of the official information offered via UNT's campus-wide information system. For more information about creating an organization Web page, contact Doug Bateman (dbateman@unt.edu) or just send E-mail to www@unt.edu.
