Broadcast Messages
In order to better manage communication resources a broadcast messaging utility has been established and became effective June 06, 2003. This messaging utility will be available for use by designated University officials approved by the President. The broadcast messaging utility will allow Administrative Departments, Academic Departments, and Students to reach all CCSU email users with no provision for “opting out”. Broadcast messages will be restricted to the following categories of information deemed important to the unit addressed:

• Campus Announcements - notices of importance to members of the University community (e.g., special announcements from the President; weather related cancellations, delays or closings; emergency notifications; information on major campus events and important bulletins).
  
  
• Facilities Management - notices concerning campus construction and other projects impacting daily operations.
  
  
• Information Technology Services - notices concerning University computer services.
  
  
• Personnel and Business Services - notices of essential personnel and business services matters (e.g., policies, payroll, purchasing, benefits).
  
  
• Public Safety - notices pertaining to parking, traffic, crime alerts, and campus safety issues.
  
  
• Academic Affairs and Registration - notices pertaining to registration, grade postings, transcript information.
  
  
• Student Affairs - notices of importance pertaining to students and student welfare.

Listserv
The University will maintain a listserv utility to facilitate electronic communication for members of the University community.

Four listservs are established: academic listserv, administrative listserv, student listserv, and campus forum listserv.

Each list will be preloaded with the CCSU email addresses of all individuals in each category; individuals can remove their names thereafter, if desired. Instructions will be included for subscribing and unsubscribing to the listservs, and for choosing “digest” functionality. All email addresses must be CCSU addresses, and only subscribers to a list can contribute messages to it. Cross-subscription and posting between the academic and administrative listservs is possible.

The lists will be updated by ITS at the beginning of each academic year; new employees and students will also receive the required information about subscribing to the lists.

Approved: Dr. Judd, President on May 22, 2003
