Request Listserv Mailing List

Use this form to submit a request for a Listserv list. This process is not automated. Requests will be checked for compliance with University policy and Network & Computing Support procedures before creation. This process may take several days; owners will be contacted via e-mail when a list is created or a request is refused.

Only University of Alabama faculty, staff, and retirees may request a list to be hosted by the University. Lists should be related to the University's mission of teaching, research, and service. A faculty/staff advisor may request a list for his/her student organization.
