Mailing Lists

There are several mailing lists available for use by the Diné College community. Membership to those lists is dependant on the individual's status at the College. (For example dc-all includes all DC employees (staff and faculty); dc-fac includes faculty members only; dc-students includes students only etc..)

Some mailing lists may be moderated for content. For all mailing lists, posts by non members are held for approval by the list owner.

Please note that attachments should be avoided whenever possible and when unavoidable they should be kept to the smallest size possible (reducing graphics content is one way to reduce size).

Individual account holders are responsible for the content of e-mails sent to the lists. The rules described above (Email Policy) apply to postings to any list.
