Emailing from the Classlist

• Emailing All Users from the Classlist
• Emailing Selected Users from the Classlist

Note: As a best practice we recommend checking your All Messages folder when checking email in D2L, NOT just the folder associated with a course.

Emailing All Users from the Classlist:

1. From the Communication menu, select Classlist.
2. Select Email Classlist.
3. Select Send Email. This will generate a blank email addressed to all users that can be completed and sent. Note: Instructors are able to use replacement strings when sending emails to multiple users in a course. Replacement strings will dynamically change the string (including brackets) with the indicated information for the recipient of the email. The replacement strings available for sending emails are:
   • {OrgUnitName} — Enters the name of the course.
   • {FirstName} — Enters the first name of the recipient of the email.
   • {LastName} — Enters the last name of the recipient of the email.
   • {UserName} — Enters the Username (Example: smithj1) of the recipient of the email.

Emailing Selected Users from the Classlist:

1. From the Communication menu, select Classlist.
2. Select the Checkbox next to the user name(s).
3. Select Email. This will generate a blank email addressed to selected users that can be completed and sent.
