How to find an e-mail class alias
Contents
What is a class alias and how are they generated?
A class alias is an email address, that when used, sends email to all the students enrolled in that class along with any faculty teaching the class. Alias' are used as an additional means of communication for the class.
Class aliases are generated nightly based on data from the Datatel system. Because the lists are generated based on registration information, change requests must be directed through the Registrar's Office.
