There are numerous email lists for the convenience of Morris campus students, faculty, and staff. UMMFACPA, UMMUSA, and UMM-ALL-EMPLOYEES are for messages of University business. Examples include announcements about class seminars, conference opportunities, and job postings. Faculty and staff may use UMMPOSTS (formerly known as UMMSTAFF) for individual announcements such as “looking to buy/borrow”, “for sale/rent” that might not interest every employee on campus. In addition, 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.
- 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.
- No abusive language is tolerated on any email lists.
- To be removed from the UMMPOSTS list, send mail to:
listserv@lists.umn.edu
containing the message:

If your message subject does not meet the criteria to be sent to the ummofficial list, but you want to reach a large number of Morris campus current students, consider using the Student Organization Leaders’ Network mailing list, ummsoln@lists.umn.edu, which currently includes over 300 of the most active student leaders.
