Mass Email
University-wide email communications are an essential tool for sharing important updates and information. To ensure appropriate use, all requests for mass email distribution must be approved by a vice president, dean, or their designated representative.
Approved Use Cases
The mass email system is reserved for communications that support Adelphi University’s mission and operations, including:
- University-sponsored events and activities
- Policy updates and university announcements
- Security or facilities alerts
- Other messages deemed beneficial to the campus community
For detailed guidelines, please refer to the Email Policy.

Google Groups Transition
To modernize our communication tools, we are transitioning from AULists to Google Groups. This migration will be completed by mid-July 2025, offering a more secure, efficient, and user friendly experience.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Security: Eliminates shared passwords. Access is granted only to authorized individuals.
- Cloud-Based Access: No VPN required for message release.
- Faster Delivery: Removes the 30-minute delay previously experienced with AULists.
- Unified Domain: All lists will use the @adelphi.edu domain for a consistent and professional appearance.
- Streamlined Offboarding: Access is automatically revoked when Gmail accounts are deactivated.
Additional Details
- AULists vs. Listserv: The current migration focuses on AULists. Listserv migration will be considered in a future phase.
- Group Membership: The process for managing group memberships remains unchanged. Only the distribution method has been updated.
- Authorized Senders: Access is now managed through individual Gmail accounts. Shared passwords are no longer used.
- Reauthorization Required: Executive Leadership and department heads must reauthorize list managers. Only authorized individuals may release messages.
