University Mass Email
Our Daily Digest email system is available through the 鈥�Login鈥� portal, which is accessed through the top menu bar on any page of the 91短视频 website: Faculty & Staff. Log in using your J# and your JagNet password.
There are a number of features with this system, including:
- a menu for selecting the correct audiences for your email;
- formatting that allows you to customize your text and insert hyperlinks to 91短视频 websites only;
- a preview and test function, so you can view a copy of your email before it is distributed;
- and a 鈥渕y messages鈥� function that allows you to see the approval and delivery status of your emails and access an archive of your previously sent messages.
When you first log into the system, please review the policies on the home page, as well as the Frequently Asked Questions under the MY SETTINGS menu. If you have additional questions after reviewing these sections, there is a 鈥淪ubmit a Question鈥� button on the website, which will route your questions to the appropriate person for a response.
University Mass Email Procedures: Policies and Procedures
University of South Alabama faculty, staff and students may use the University-wide mass email system to communicate official University business with the University community. The Office of Marketing and Communications reviews and distributes all mass emails submitted during regular business hours.
University Mass Email messages are distributed Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday through the Daily Digest. Employees and students who prefer to receive individual email messages which will arrive at varying times of the day may change their settings at /services/jagnet/digest.html. Opting out of emails altogether is not allowed. Emails addressing issues of safety and other high priority items will still be sent individually regardless of your Daily Digest setting.
Messages submitted to the Mass Email system will generally appear in the Daily Digest the following morning if received by 3 p.m., with the exception of Monday (messages must be received by Friday at 3 p.m.). There is no Daily Digest on Wednesdays. Messages received Tuesday and Wednesday will appear in Thursday鈥檚 Daily Digest.
