BU | Policies | Broadcast E-Mail Policy and Procedures

Procedures

There are currently four mechanisms available to send Broadcast Email, each of which is described below. The first two are institutionally-supported and are recommended because they adhere to all of the policy elements outlined in this document. The third mechanism, also recommended, is used exclusively for sending email to entire Boston University Medical Campus (BUMC) constituent groups, i.e., all faculty and/or staff and/or students. Use of either the BUMC procedure or the fourth mechanism, local distribution lists, is governed by the Broadcast Email Policy.
