| Email List Policies and Procedures The Psychology Department maintains several email lists for faculty, graduate students, researchers, and staff. The lists exist to facilitate communication within the department. To minimize spam, the lists are closed to nonmembers, and we also ask that you not make the list names public. We have instituted the following policies to ensure privacy and keep the lists manageable. Thank you, Psychology List Manager psychwebman at berkeley.edu EMAIL LIST POLICIES Email List Names We ask that Psychology students, faculty, researchers, and staff not give the list names to anyone outside the department. Spammers - including those simply wanting to publicize events or post a classified ad - are known to collect email list names, especially those of graduate students in campus departments. Even though the lists are closed to nonmembers, spam and virus email can occasionally get through to the lists. Keeping the list names private helps minimize spams. Graduate Student List The graduate student email list is for department information of interest to Psychology graduate students. All current Psychology graduate students in good standing, including those on leave, are subscribed to the graduate student email list maintained by the department. We ask that you keep the department informed of any changes in your email address. Those whose degrees have been conferred or who have withdrawn completely from the program are removed from the mailing list (see "Periodic Maintenance"). Graduate students in other departments who are working with Psychology faculty are not eligible for the Psychology student list but can subscribe to an alternate list and receive the weekly PsychSchrift email newsletter. Alumni Psychology alumni may subscribe to an email list created for them. Please email the List Manager for more information. Include your full name, the name you used while a student here (if different), your Psychology degree(s) and year(s) obtained, email address, postal address, and phone number. Course and Research Lists Faculty who want to set up and manage email lists for their courses, for research interests, or similar purposes can receive advice and consultation from the department List Manager. Create and manage lists at http://lists.berkeley.edu (also accessible from the CalMail home page). Faculty are responsible for setting up and maintaining these email lists themselves. Email List Uses Psychology email lists are for department business only. Announcements for classified ads and department social events are fine, but political broadcasts, chain letters, petition drives, and the like are inappropriate. Please review campus policies on electronic communications and mailing lists, especially Section II: Allowable Use: http://www.ucop.edu/ucophome/policies/ec/html/welcome.htm Psychology faculty, students, researchers, and staff are welcome to exchange messages for housing, garage sales, and other classified ads. Non-Psychology people sending classified ads to Psychology lists will be asked to post them instead on Craig's List (http://www.craigslist.org) or in a local newspaper. Housing wanted or available ads can be posted on Cal Rentals (http://calrentals.berkeley.edu). Commercial advertisements and promotions, as well as messages sent under false identity, are prohibited per campus policy. Please be considerate of fellow email list members (i.e., no "flaming" or "trashing"). The lists are monitored for compliance with these policies. Periodic Maintenance The department reserves the right to maintain accurate email lists. To this end, we periodically update all lists to include all eligible subscribers (e.g., for the graduate student list, all current graduate students in good standing) and to remove all ineligible subscribers. Although every effort is made to decide who is eligible and who is not, we cannot guarantee total accuracy. However, we will notify you in advance of planned updates and test them afterwards, so you can notify us if you believe you have been deleted in error. See also "Special Note for Graduate Students." EMAIL PROCEDURES Special Note for Graduate Students The graduate student email list derives from a database maintained by Student Services. The list's contents are replaced each fall with the latest contents of the database. Please report to Student Services any changes in your name, postal address, email address, other home or office contact information, research area, or sponsor. For all updates, please fill out the Database Change Form, which is available from the receptionist, from Student Services, or from the List Manager. Subscribing to a Department Email List Psychology email lists are closed, which means you cannot subscribe yourself. To subscribe, see the List Manager in 3210 Tolman, or email the List Manager. Please include your full name, department status (faculty, graduate student, researcher, etc.), your email address, and the list you want to subscribe to, if known. If you are an affiliate of the department, please ask your sponsor to contact the List Manager on your behalf. Email Account Maintenance CalMail and Socrates accounts are allowed a large amount of disk space for email. This quota is usually plenty for email messages, but you can quickly exceed it with several large file attachments such as photos. You can also exceed it if you never delete old messages. Should you exceed the quota, CalMail or Socrates blocks all further incoming email, including messages from departmental email lists. You can minimize the chance of exceeding the quota either by setting your Preferences not to "Leave mail on server," or by deleting old/junk/large mail regularly. Contact the List Manager if you need help with this. Changing Your Email Address To change your email address on a list, email the manager. Please include your full name, department status (faculty, graduate student, etc.), your old email address, your new email address, and the list(s) to which you are subscribed. To Unsubscribe from an Email List To unsubscribe, see the List Manager in 3210 Tolman, or email the manager. Please include your full name, department status (faculty, staff, etc.), your email address, and the list you want to unsubscribe from. Please note that current graduate students in good standing are automatically subscribed to the graduate student email list, and staff and faculty are automatically subscribed to their respective lists.
