Need to email a large group at NCU, like all staff or all students? Learn what NCU's E-mail and Mass Communications policy allows, and who to talk to first.
Before you send: all three must be true
1
It matters to most of the people getting it
|
2
It's critical or time-sensitive
|
3
It fits one of the four reasons below
|
The four reasons
- A health or safety alert for the campus community
- Information essential to running the university
- Changes to university governance, policy, or practice
- Important information from university senior leadership
Events, reminders, newsletters, and announcements that only matter to some people usually don't meet the bar. Share them in a Teams channel, a department email, or another campus channel instead.
Never allowed
- Chain letters, or forwarding them
- Spam: unsolicited messages sent to lots of people
- Very large messages, or floods of messages, that get in the way of other people's email
- Commercial or personal-gain messages not sponsored by the university
Talk to Marketing & Communications first
Marketing & Communications manages NCU's communication strategy. Contact them before sending to a large campus audience: 612.343.5005 or communications@northcentral.edu.
