Mass e-mail messages aimed at currently enrolled students may be sent to the student announcement list or the official student list, which are both maintained by NDSU.

The Student Announcement list is managed by Student Government and is intended to inform students of upcoming events and information pertinent to the student body. The rules and procedures for this list are available on the Student Government Web site. Send messages for this list to listserv@ndsusg.com.

The Registrar and the Office of Vice President for University Relations moderate the official student list, which is reserved for notices that broadly apply to students. Topics include academic and financial dates and deadlines, student health and safety, university hours and closings, transportation access to the university and messages from central administration. Send messages for this list to ndsu-student-official@listserv.nodak.edu.

Faculty, departments or organizations also may establish e-mail lists to communicate with students, advisees or members.

NDSU e-mail is considered an official means of communication with students (NDSU Policy 609).  If e-mail is your primary means of communicating with students or advisees, help reinforce to students the importance of checking NDSU-issued e-mail addresses on a regular basis. NDSU’s e-mail policy and guidelines are available on the Information Technology Services Web site (under E-mail Service).
