Bulk E-Mail Service

UNT Bulk Mail allows instructors to use a simple Web page interface to send e-mail to all the students in any of their classes.
The only resources needed for sending Bulk Mail are a Web browser connected to the Internet, Instructor's Internet e-mail address and password, or, if they have not applied for Internet Services, use their EUID (Enterprise User-ID) and EUID password.
If the instructor doesn't know their EUID, visit AMS and click on "whats my EUID" the password is their UNT ID number.

To send Bulk Mail:

Go to the Bulk Mail Website http://www unt.edu/bulkmail/and log in with Internet Services ID and password, or if you have not applied for this, you can use your EUID.
Click on Send Mail by Enrolled Courses.
Set the options for which classes to send mail etc. (only that instructor's classes will be visible to them).

Instructor: To send to individual students or to identify which students have Eaglemail:

Once the list of Enrolled Courses appears, the instructor can click on the course name and it will print out a list of students.
IF the student has an active eaglemail account, their name is hyperlinked to their email address.
If they have not activated their account, then the name is in red.
Thus another feature of this is that an instructor can use bulkmail to send an email to an individual student if they so desire.
Because this is a bulk mail system, messages are not guaranteed to be sent instantaneously, although they might be. They will likely be sent within three hours but may be sent much sooner than that.
The instructor will receive confirmation that the message has been sent to the e-mail addresss given when the message was sent.

Please note that only authorized individuals can send messages from the bulk e-mail system. All faculty members can send e-mail to students enrolled in one of their classes (but they can't send mail to students in someone else's class). Staff use of bulk e-mail is much more limited. The draft policy on the IRC Website explains it pretty well:

"The bulk e-mail system is intended only for official communications between UNT and students, so access to the system is granted only to specified persons. Authorization is granted on a hierarchical basis, with the general rule being that the higher up one goes in UNT's administrative hierarchy, the more students to whom one can send mail messages."

By default, access is granted to the groups of students shown in the chart on the IRC Policy Web page http://www.unt.edu/irc/policy/emailprocedures.htm :

"The access rights shown are automatically assigned to the designated individuals, so no action need be taken by the Chair of the Department of Management, for example, to start sending messages to students with majors in Marketing. Persons not on the list . . . may gain access to the bulk e-mail system only by having an authorized user send a mail message to the administrator of the directory service requesting such access."
