There are two ways to send an email to the course/section address.
- Select the email address from the list. This will open the default email application on your device and automatically place the email address into the "To:" field.
- Select Copy Address to add the address to your device's clipboard so it can be pasted into the email application of your choice.
Note: By default, to send messages to a Course Email list, you must use Outlook with your [email protected] (e.g., [email protected]) email address in the From field. To send an email to a Course Email list using a preferred email (e.g. Gmail), follow the steps found at How do I use my preferred email address to send and receive Course Email messages? (opens in new window)
Compose and send the message.

Once a new message in the desired email application has been opened, enter and confirm the following:
- Confirm or paste the desired course/section email address in the "To:" field.
- Optional: Add your email address to the "Cc:" field to receive a copy of the message in your Inbox. Senders do not receive their own messages automatically.
- Enter the subject of the message.
- Compose the body and signature of the message.
Tip: To verify messages have been successfully delivered, please check the Archive associated with the course/section email address. For steps, see How do I view and manage the Archive (sent messages) for a Course Email list? (opens new window).
