Notes

You can add and remove yourself from these lists by the mechanism described below. Notify csee-listmaster AT csee DOT umbc DOT edu of any problems you can't resolve.
Indentation shows inclusion, such as csee-grad, is defined as the union of csee-grad-cs, csee-grad-ce, and csee-grad-ee. So, if you are a graduate student in the CS program, you have been explicitly subscribed to csee-grad-cs and will by implicitly included in the lists csee-grad, csee-student and csee. One can not subscribe to the parent level lists.
Lists (i.e. csee-undergrad-cs) have restictions on who is allowed to send mail through them (primarily because of their large size). Mail from unauthorized senders will be forwarded to the list administrator for approval.
If you want to send mail to all CSEE graduate students, address it to csee-grad AT csee DOT umbc DOT edu.

Attention Graduate Students:

The CSEE Department maintains a number of electronic mailing lists. These are used to disseminate official announcements as well as to support various research groups. It is each graduate student's responsibility to subscribe to the mailing list that is relevant to their major: csee-grad-cs, csee-grad-ce, or csee-grad-ee. None of the other lists allow for self-subscriptions. Emails send to the parent lists csee-grad, csee-student, and csee will automatically propagate to the children lists csee-grad-cs, csee-grad-ce, and csee-grad-ee.

Mailman 3 Migration

The CSEE department is migrating the mailing list platform from Mailman 2 to Mailman 3. The new platform changes some of the relevant procedures.

These changes are not yet in effect. As we make this transition, if you encounter any issues or have questions, do not hesitate to reach out to listmaster@cs.umbc.edu.

Subscribing to a List

Visit lists2.cs.umbc.edu/mailman3/lists/[listname].cs.umbc.edu/
You have the option of signing in with your existing UMBC account username and password. This has the added benefit of allowing you to manage all your subscriptions in one place. If you are signing up with a non UMBC address you will be required to create an account and confirm your email address.

Managing Existing Subscriptions

Visit https://lists2.cs.umbc.edu/ and login.
After logging in, visit the Lists tab to see your current subscriptions, change your preferences, or unsubscribe.

For List Administrators

Much of the configuration remains the same, but instead of using a specific administrative password, you simply login to your UMBC account. You will be able to administer or moderate your lists depending on your assigned role.
