Mass Email

Mass Email

Mass Email is available when you need to send unsolicited email to more than 250 internal email addresses. Mass e-mails communicate important academic, college and student business to students, faculty and staff.

 

Use Mass Email if your message must go to more than 250 email addresses. All mass email requests are reviewed and approved by Digital Service.

As of April 1, 2022, ALL messages sent through the Division of IT Mass Email must meet MU’s Digital Access Policy.  To learn more and find tips for making your message accessible, please visit Digital Access.

If you need to include a survey, remember you need approval from the Campus Institutional Review Board (see below).

 

Individual Mass Email

Individual mass emails are sent on a per user/per topic basis. Mass email is limited to official university business, including:

  • Emergency or crisis situations like closings and delays due to hazardous weather conditions or power outages.
  • Critical or time-sensitive situations affecting the campus as a whole.
  • Sudden changes in traffic, campus vehicular access or parking due to emergencies.

Please review the university's mass email policy before requesting a mass email.

Surveys

The Campus Institutional Review Board (IRB) approves all surveys before they can be approved for mass email distribution. Please include the Campus IRB approval number in the Comments/Special Instructions section of the request form.

There is a $100 fee per mass email.
