All COCC students have COCC email accounts, making contacting your students via email very easy! Instructors no longer need to send a sheet around the class asking students to write down their email address.
If you would like to have a "distribution list" (i.e., a list of all students in a CRN) created for you and available in Outlook, please complete this Distribution List Request Form . When you submit the form, your distribution list will be created and ready for use after 5:00 p.m. on the weekday you submit the request.
After the distribution list is available, you can email the students in your CRN:
1. Launch Outlook.
2. Create a new mail message.
3. Click on the To: button to bring up the Select Names dialog box from which you can find your CRN distribution list.
4. In the Type Name or Select from List: text box, type DL and your CRN number (e.g., DL30027). An icon of a male and female with your CRN number should appear and be highlighted in blue.
5. Click the To-> button. The distribution list for your CRN will appear in the Message Recipients box.
6. Click the OK button. You will be taken back to your new mail message with the distribution list for your CRN in the To: text box.
7. Type in a Subject and the contents of your email, then click the Send icon and your email will go out to the students in your CRN.
Your CRN distribution lists will be updated the first three weeks of the term.
