Marist Listservs

Listserv is an electronic mailing list that offers an efficient way to disseminate official announcements and information to large numbers of people. The University maintains three official lists, MARFAC, MARSTAFF, and MAR-STU for the purpose of informing the Marist community about University events, news, and other issues directly related to University activities and operations. 

The University also provides one list, MARFORUM, for general discussion of interest to subscribed members on the MARFORUM list.  

Purpose 

The purpose of the list(s) at Marist University is to facilitate and disseminate information to eligible members and affiliates of the University.  The person responsible for managing a list is known as the "list owner."  The administration is the list owner of MARFAC, MARSTAFF, and MAR-STU. 

MARFORUM is a self-regulated list and users are expected to abide by University policies.  The University reserves the right to remove users from the MARFORUM list upon request of the FAC.

List Membership

MAR-STU:  All students are required to be on this list and may not OPT/Out.

Policies 

Lists are subject to all University policies and local, state, and federal regulations.

Messages sent via the listserv must be the writer’s own work and must not violate any copyright or other regulation or law. 

Members of MARFORUM may request to be unsubscribed from the list by clicking on the unsubscribe link at the bottom of all messages.

Membership of any University-provided list is not a right of the individual.
