LISTSERV SERVICES

The Feinberg School of Medicine operates an electronic mailing list service (“listserv”) for each class of students, each college, and the entire student body. Listservs were established to transmit official announcements regarding classes, professional events, student organization activities, and other related information. Students and faculty members may post brief, relevant messages. The distribution of large files or graphics will not be accepted by the listserv and should be distributed either through Course Management (blackboard) or posted on the Infoplex Web site at www.infoplex.northwestern.edu. Announcements of student-centered social events, items for sale, and other similar messages should be done through the student-run list service found on Infoplex and not sent via the listserv.

While at the time of matriculation new students are automatically assigned to the listserv for their class, a leave of absence or other interruption in academic progress may necessitate subscription to the listserv of a new class. This may be accomplished by sending an e-mail message to listserv@listserv.it.northwestern.edu. The message should have a blank subject line and the body of the message should state “subscribe med**-announce firstname lastname.” (** indicates the last two numbers of the new expected year of graduation).
