There are two separate methods for e-mailing students:
DoIT's method and the
CAE's. With the CAE method
you can use the same mailing address each semester, and get the current roster for that semester. DoIT generates a new
list each semester with a designatioin for the semester. For example, for ISyE 564 for spring 2006, DoIT's email list is
isye564-1-s06@lists.wisc.edu while ours for the current semester is list/course=isye=564@maillist.engr.wisc.edu.
Follow this link if you would prefer to use DoIT's method please consult
Classlists using DoIT.
Emailing Students Using the CAE emailer:
There is a very easy way of sending email to all the students registered for a given course. Students can be selected
by course, by course section, by program, by major, and/or by year in school, by doing the following:
To select students by course, use: list/course=dept=number=section=term@maillist.engr.wisc.edu
where the course dept is one or more of the following:
dept
Full Department Name
BME
CBE
CEE
CS
ECE
EMA
EPD
GLE
ISYE
INTEREGR
ME
MSAE
NEEP
Biomedical Engineering
Center for Biological Education
Civil and Environmental Engineering
Computer Science
Electrical and Computer Engineering
Engineering Mechanics and Aeronautics
Engineering Professional Development
Geological Engineering
Industrial and Systems Engineering
Introduction to Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Material Science and Engineering
Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics
number is the course number (447 for example)
section is the course section (1 for example)
term is a 4 digit number: where the first 3 digits are the year minus 1900 (use following year for Fall
semester); the last digit is 2 for fall, 4 for spring or 6 for summer semester. Here are a few terms:

Example 1: To mail to students who were enrolled in Computer Science 352,
section 1 during Fall 2005, you would use:
- list/course=CS=352=1=1052@maillist.engr.wisc.edu
Example 2: To mail to all Mechanical Engineering 447 students in section 2, current term you
would exclude term and come up with:
- list/course=ME=447=2@maillist.engr.wisc.edu
Example 3: To mail to students in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science 352
regardless of section, omit "=section" and you would get:
- list/course=ECE+CS=352@maillist.engr.wisc.edu
In addition, it is also possible to send
email to large groups of people

to large groups of people--> other than students in a given course.
To select students by program, use: program=program@maillist.engr.wisc.edu
where program is one or more of the following:
program
Program Category
UNDERGRADCLASS
GRADCLASS
ENGRCLASS
Undergraduates
Grad. Students
Engineering Classes
To mail to pre-engineers only (they are included in UNDERGRADCLASS) use: EGR
To select students by major and year, use: major=dept=year@maillist.engr.wisc.edu
where the major dept is one or more of the following:

Don't be confuse between MSE and MSAE: MSE is for "Manufacturing System Engineering" and MSAE is for "Material Science Engineering". Mail sent to ECE
goes to both EE and CMPE majors.
For graduate students use 5 for year; for special students, use 9; for undergraduates, use 1+2+3+4.
For example, to send mail to all ME undergraduates use:
list/major=ME=1+2+3+4@maillist.engr.wisc.edu
To select by major only, omit the "=year" part.
