Bulk Email

Service Description

It is possible to send an email message to a large, pre-defined population of the UW community. UW Information Technology offers this service under very specific conditions delineated below.

Messages can be targeted to pre-defined groups or to more specific groups defined by such criteria as organizational code, occupation class code, etc. Pre-defined groups include: students, undergraduate students, graduate students, employees, faculty, staff, or members of the UW community. We can only send mail to those people who have email addresses based on their UW NetID. There are people at the UW who do not have a UW NetID and choose to use other mail services, either departmental services or outside services, who will not be reached.

To prevent this service from being overused, all messages to large lists of UW community members must be pre-approved by someone at the Vice President or Vice Provost level.

For more information and an online request form to send a bulk email message, see washington.edu/itconnect/connect/email/bulk-email

Bulk email is generally sent out during evening hours to avoid causing congestion in the email system during business hours.
