Class email list subscriptions

Once enrolled in a course that uses a class email list, students' UMass Amherst email addresses will be automatically added to the list. Look for a Welcome message from your instructor.

If you added a course after the end of add/drop, reach out to the instructor to ensure you are added to the Class Email List.

• Once enrolled in a course, you will be routinely added to a class email list if the instructor chooses to use this capability. Look for a Welcome message from your instructor.
• Messages from a class email list will only be sent to your official email address. All students are required to check their official email address regularly for important information related to their courses.

Note: If you drop a course during add/drop, you will be removed from its email list once the list is refreshed (usually at the end of the registration period). If you withdrew from the course after add/drop you may continue to get emails from the course mailing list until you contact the instructor to have your email removed from the course mailing list.
