Bulk Mail NewsBy Dr. Philip Baczewski, Director of Academic Computing and User Services
The Bulk Mail system has been modified to enhance communication with UNT students and to make minor improvements to the Bulk Mail submission interface. There are now two possible selections under the "Admin" Bulk Mail menu. If you are an administrator with access to Bulk Mail, you will see the Admin Menu. The two Administrative menu selections are:
Administrators should use the "announcement or event message" selection for most communications with groups of students and reserve the "official UNT message" option for message categories as described above. Faculty are able to send messages to all students enrolled in the courses assigned to them in EIS. Messages sent via the "Professor" selection feature of Bulk Mail are sent by selecting:
The new menu selection page is show below:
These changes were made to allow students to better receive and manage their communications from UNT. The UNT student Bulk Mail system now allows for three categories of message to be sent. Each of these three categories is delivered into a separate permanent mail folder in students' EagleMail accounts. Each message subject identifies the type of message. These subject identifiers are as follows:
Students may optionally forward their EagleMail to a personal e-mail account they've established with a commercial service provider. The subject identifiers will allow students using commercial e-mail to know a message is from UNT and be able to tell what type of communication is being sent. Bulk Mail users are urged to review the help information provided via the Bulk Mail login page as a way to familiarize themselves with some of the new features of Bulk Mail. Extensive testing was done after the changes were made to Bulk Mail, but if you experience any problems with Bulk Mail, please report them to the CITC Helpdesk ( helpdesk@unt.edu).
