About the EEE+ Class Mail lists

The EEE+ Class Mail lists enable instructors to quickly send emails and attachments to a memorable email address for a class.

All students in the class will receive a copy of emails sent this way; there is no opt-out mechanism.

Emails sent to a class mail list are archived for a period of one year; this archive is available to all instructors and enrolled students in that class.

About the Canvas communication features

Messages sent through Canvas are delivered in up to three ways:

  • Directly within the Canvas interface
  • Via a text message (if students opt-in)
  • Via email

Note that students can opt-out of receiving emails outside of the system; this is the primary difference between Canvas and the EEE+ Class Mail lists.

Messages sent through Canvas are available only to students enrolled at the time the message was sent; there is no archive of messages.
