Engineering and Computer Science Mailing Lists

Students will be automatically enrolled in mail lists for classes and lab sections they are enrolled in as well as mail lists for general Engr+CSc undergraduate announcements.

Example Lists:

• engn-ugrad@lists.uvic.ca
• engn-classes-201501-elec-300-a01@lists.uvic.ca

The lists are automatically updated every morning from the preferred / primary email address defined in the UVic "My Page" system.

The helpdesk provides instructions on changing your preferred email address.

Engr+CSc mail list messages will be sent from '@lists.uvic.ca'

The Engr+CSc mail list name will be enclosed in square brackets [] and are prefixed by 'Engn-' in the mail subject line.

Example Subject:

• '[Engn-ugrad] New Bursary'

Most mail clients and online mail services allow filtering based on the mail subject line and on the sender.
