Considerations
University policy applies if you want to send a message to ALL members of one or more of the following groups:
- Alumni
- Students
- Academics
- Staff
CIT offers the ability to send an e-mail message to large numbers of recipients. You could do it yourself, but consider the following:
- You'd have to enter ALL those e-mail addresses into your mail client.
- You'd cause a sudden (and potentially disruptive) spike in network traffic.
- You might run afoul of university policy. (See University Policy 5.2, Mass Electronic Mailing) Ouch.
On the other hand, when you send your bulk message through CIT:
- We can take your e-mail addresses in a variety of formats.
- Our method won't disrupt the network.
- We ensure that you aren't doing something that will get you in trouble.
