Mailing list creation and management is provided as a service to the university community. Mailing lists are collections of email addresses that can be used for announcements, group discussion, or as a distribution list.
Tasks
Before you subscribe to campus-wide discussion mailing lists such as FACFOCUS, please review the university’s policy on campus-wide discussion lists.
Lists for academic courses
Each academic course section has a mailing list automatically created at the beginning of each semester and populated with assigned instructors and registered students. The lists are named using the course subject code, course number, and section number.
Examples
| Course | List name |

| Rhetoric and Writing 1300 section 10 | RHET130010@ualr.edu |
| Rhetoric and Writing 7310 section 1 | RHET731001@ualr.edu |
