Information and Help

What is it?

The Bulk Mail System allows designated individuals to send bulk email to students at UNT. It is designed to better facilitate the distribution of important information to UNT students. All UNT students are required to activate their EagleMail account.

How does it work?

Authorized individuals authenticate to the system using their EUID and password. Messages are composed and then sent to students based on course (e.g. BIOL 1001) or based on College, Department, Major and/or classification (e.g. all freshman history majors). These messages are then queued for delivery. At this time messages are delivered via the Bulk Email System every half hour, but it may take as much as 2 hours to deliver a message to all UNT students.

The specified sender address will receive an e-mail confirmation once delivery of the message begins.

Who gets these messages?

All enrolled students who have active EagleMail accounts and who fall within the selected group will receive a Bulkmail message. EagleMail accounts are automatically activated for students who apply and are accepted to UNT.

Who can send these messages?

The ability to send messages via the Bulk Mail System is limited to faculty and selected members of the administration. This policy was developed and approved by the Vice Presidents. (Read the policy and procedures.)

Faculty are able to send messages to all students enrolled in the courses assigned to them in EIS.

Administrative access is as follows:

Who All Students All Students in a College All Students in a Department All Students with a Specific Major
President, VPs, UCM, Registrar, Financial Aid, Police and Computing Center        
Dean        
Department Chair        

At least one person from each area listed above can have access to send messages (e.g one person in Fiscal Affairs, one person in President's office, one person in Computing Center, one person in College of Arts & Sciences, one person in the Department of History). The green boxes represent the largest group of students to which each area can send.

How can I send a message via the Bulk Mail System?

You login using your EUID and password. Only administrators and faculty who have been registered with the system will be able to send mail via this system. Faculty will be registered automatically each semester based on course assignment data as loaded from EIS.

Requesting Administrative Access

If you are not registered with the system and have a need to send messages representing one of the hierarchy levels described above, please send e-mail to Dr. Philip Baczewski, Director of Academic Computing and User Services with an explanation of your needs in this regard.
