CMU Student Announcement List - Procedures
Dean of Students
Office February 2002

E-mail announcements of important interest to most currently enrolled students may be approved for distribution to all students with e-mail accounts. When messages are submitted, they are reviewed for approval, digested, and sent out.

Approval authority rests in the Office of the Dean of Students. The likelihood of approval is greatly enhanced when the message is deemed important to most students, and dealing with such issues as university financial matters, course registration, emergencies (health, weather, etc.), or new university policies. Most other announcements will not be deemed appropriate to send to all student e-mail accounts. Persons wishing to send other electronic announcements to students are encouraged to consider posting a message on the Web Bulletin Board.

How to write an announcement and submit for approval

All students with e-mail accounts have been included on the list. The list can be sorted by all freshmen, sophomores, juniors, seniors, graduate students.
  • Requests to make an announcement must be sent by e-mail to deanstu@cmich.edu
  • The subject line of the e-mail message must be the title of the announcement, written in all capital letters. This title must also be the first line of the announcement, written in all capital letters.
  • Announcements must include the following information for the person submitting the announcement: name, campus phone number, and e-mail address. This should be written in parentheses at the end of the message. Please use the following format: (Submitted by: name, office name, campus phone number, e-mail address).
  • Announcements should be 100 words or less, including the title.

Guidelines

  • Announcements are usually run one time and not repeated.
