To request a LISTSERV mailing list you must fill out and submit the LISTSERV Mailing List Application.  Before you request a new mailing list, make sure proper authorization can be provided if requested, and that the purpose for your list adheres to the conditions of acceptable use set forth below:

1. Mailing lists should generally support the academic mission of the university or its contribution to scholarship and community service at the national or international level.
2. Mailing lists associated with instructional courses should be "owned" by the instructor and participation should be at the discretion of the individual student (unless required as part of the class) - no student should have the ability to exclude or include other students in the class.
3. Mailing lists should be associated with a topic or recognized group rather than an individual. The university provides official sanction for student groups and it is appropriate that part of the privileges associated with that sanction be access to the UC LISTSERV system.
4. Students should be allowed to apply for and use mailing lists as part of their academic experience with the support of a faculty advisor or the  Student Organizations and Activities Office.  Use of mailing lists is not equivalent to electronic mail accounts.
5. Student requests sponsored by a faculty member or the Student Organizations and Activities Office will generally be approved.

UCit and the LISTSERV administrator reserve the right to reject an application if it does not meet these criteria, and to review the usage of a list at anytime.
