How to Send a Message via the Class Email Tool:
- Click Class Email under Communication Tools on the main Faculty Tools page.
- Select recipients. Recipients are required to send a message.
- Include a subject. Subjects are required to send a message.
- Compose the email as you wish.
- Click Send Email at the bottom of the page.
Once you click the Send Email button, you will see a spinning wheel alerting you that the system is in the process of sending your email to selected recipients. You will then see a message that your email will be sent in the next few minutes.
It's important to note that messages sent from the Class Email tool do not get sent immediately. All messages in all classes go into a queue. In most cases, your message is sent in the next minute or two. If there are a lot of messages in the queue (it's the first day of classes, for example), it may take five or more minutes for your message to go out.
Note: Students will not see other student recipients receiving a message, even if names are selected individually. However, course faculty, TAs, and staff will see the groups and/or all names to whom the message is sent.
