Campus Email Policies and Options
Required College Communications
Sent by designated senders, often via Google Groups
You are automatically subscribed to official, non-promotional notices based on your role at the College (e.g. student, faculty). Such notices include academic policies, calendar updates, other essential or required institutional communications from College divisions/departments, and emergency alerts.
While you cannot unsubscribe from these messages, the College carefully curates them to minimize email traffic.
You can join additional groups through Hamilton’s Rapid Identity system. Examples include:
- ALL-FACULTY: available to employees, retirees, and sponsored accounts
- ALL-STAFF: available to faculty and retirees
- ALL-STUDENTS: available to faculty, employees, and retirees
- CLASS-OF-202x: available to faculty, employees, and retirees
Optional College Communications
Sent by departments, programs, and recognized student organizations via Listservs
Promotional content, like event invitations, campus activities, or general announcements, is shared through Listservs. These emails are optional, and you control what you receive.
- Subscribe to the Listservs that interest you
- Set your Listserv preferences to digest mode (fewer emails!)
- Unsubscribe at any time
Common Listservs:
- “Events-All”: All campus-events announcement list
- “Notices-All”: A general announcements list for employees
- Students Listserv: General announcements for students
Other Ways to Stay Informed
Event listings and other announcements can be accessed without subscribing to Listservs:
- My Hamilton Portal: Customize your dashboard to see notices, events, and announcements
- Daily Events Calendar: Sent to all employees each morning during the academic year
- Events page: Browse campus events anytime
