Subscribing to the ALS 3203 class List-Serv - Spring 2008

Your class will be using email for exercises, and a group account (also known as a list-serv) to post questions, announcements, pleas for help, comments, course matters, and computer questions. I have set up the account and will be the administrator. Follow the directions below to subscribe to the course list-serv; note - do not subscribe with another email provider as Gatorlink does not forward messages to other accounts, so you will not receive notices that I post to the class if you rely on anohter email provider. Be sure to remove all advertising or additional text at the bottom of any additional email accounts you may have, or you will not succcessfully register for the list-serv. YOur egsitration email to the list-serv should be empty execpt for the one line of subscribing text.
  1. Using your ACTIVE gatorlink email account(s) (the account you will use for this class), send a new message to the following address:
    listserv@lists.ufl.edu
  2. In the email, leave the Subject: field blank.
  3. Your message should only consist of :
    Subscribe ALS3203-L Firstname Lastname
  4. Replace "Firstname Lastname" with your real first and last names (example - Paul Choate). (DO NOT GET CUTE HERE)
  5. Do NOT add any extra spaces. NOTE:! NOTE! - If your email provider places advertising statements at the bottom of each email message, BE SURE TO delete these before sending your subscription message. If you do not do this there is a good chance that your subscription will fail!!!! There must ONLY be the subscribing statement on the message to the list-serv, NOTHING ELSE!!!!
  6. You will receive a set of confirmation instructions from the list-serv moderator. Follow their directions. If you do not do this your subscription will not be completed.
  7. You will be notified that you are subscribed and how to unsubscribe.
  8. I will receive notification of your enrollment, and post a message to the class indicating who has successfully subscribed to this list.
  9. I WILL POST A MESSAGE TO ALL SUBSCRIBED STUDENTS ON FRIDAY, the end of WEEK 1, or if the semester starts late in the first week I will notify all subscribers the following Monday.
  10. From this point on you are responsible for seeing that your mailbox does NOT become full so you are unable to receive class postings. There will be no excuse for this, and I will not email separate messages to those who have failed to sign up for the list-serv or who have a mail box that is too full to receive our class messages!
  11. Every enrolled student must be subscribed to the list-serv by the end of the first week of classes in order to stay current with class notices and assignments.
Once you have subscribed you may post a message at any time by emailing to (this is not case sensitive):
ALS3203-L@lists.ufl.edu


This is intended for you to post questions to your fellow classmates, assignment problems, etc. Use it frequently. CAUTION: Anything you post to the list-serv will be received by everyone! Your message will be received by all subscribers to the list. Please keep that in mind. Personal messages should be addressed to the individual's personal email address, not the list-serv!

DO NOT RELY ON EMAIL SERVICES from ANOTHER ACCOUNT to check on class messages! YOUR EMAIL WILL NOT BE FORWARDED TO your GATORLINK account from AOL, GMAIL, YAHOO, or another other local provider.
