Notes

You can add and remove yourself from these lists by the mechanism described below. Notify listmaster@cs.umbc.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@cs.umbc.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.
