FAQ's

What is a listserv?

A listserv is an electronic mailing list.  Once you have signed up with your e-mail address, you will be included in this mailing list.  Whenever there is important information that is felt parents should know, an e-mail will be sent out to every e-mail address that has subscribed.

What is an announcement only listserv?

Some listservs allow for the participants to send messages to the listserv which will then be sent to everyone.  An announcement only listserv will only allow administrators at Texas A&M to send out messages to this listserv.  Therefore you will not receive messages from anyone else on this listserv.

Now that I have signed up, what do I do?

Once you have signed up, you will receive a confirmation e-mail.  You will have to respond to that e-mail according to the terms included in it.  After you have done that, all you have to do is wait until a message is sent out.  It will come directly to your inbox just like any other e-mail sent to you.

I do not want to have the messages sent to my e-mail, is there any other way to check what is being sent out?

Yes!  If you wish to not join the listserv, all of the messages are archived in public directories.  Go to http://listserv.tamu.edu/archives/parents.html.  From there you will be able to view all messages that have been sent out over the listserv. 

I deleted a message that was sent out, but now I need to know the information on it!

All messages sent to the listserv are archived publicly.  Go to http://listserv.tamu.edu/archives/parents.html and you will be able to view all past messages sent out.

I am currently on the listserv, but I now want to be removed.  

There are two ways to unsubscribe to the listserv.  The first method is to visit the online subscription page, fill out your e-mail address and name, but click 'Leave the List' instead of 'Join the List'.  The second is to send an e-mail to listserv@listserv.tamu.edu.  Leave the Subject line blank.  In the Body type
