Email Lists

Numerous email lists are available for Morris campus students, faculty, and staff for purposes such as events, research opportunities, and job postings. Please be aware of the following guidelines.

• Use University property, equipment, finances, materials, electronic and other systems, and other resources only for legitimate University purposes.
• University of Minnesota technology resources may not be used for commercial purposes, political messages, or other endorsements. This restriction applies to email lists as well. Messages involving individual announcements (garage sales, etc.) must be restricted to the UMMPOSTS list only.
• Remember that email correspondence related to university business is subject to public records laws and record retention policies.
• Do not forward messages from others to Morris campus email lists.
• Attachments cannot be correctly received by many email users. In addition, they are potential carriers of computer viruses. Do not send file attachments to any UMM lists. Instead, copy and paste the text of your file into the message body.
• Make sure all text, links, images, and attached files are accessible to recipients using screen readers or other assistive technologies.
• No abusive language is tolerated on any email lists.
