UNLV maintains two distinct electronic mail lists for campus communication:

1) the UNLV Official Electronic Mail list

2) the UNLV Information Electronic Mail list

The purpose of each list, the policies regarding the lists and the procedures for accessing and using the lists are described below.

The UNLV Official Electronic Mail list is used to disseminate information that the entire campus needs to receive.

Subscription to the UNLV Official Electronic Mail list is automatic and occurs at the time an electronic mail account is established.

Messages to be distributed via the UNLV Official Electronic Mail list are sent to the appropriate designee where they are screened for appropriateness for the list and disseminated.

Designees from the following areas have been appointed:

The list of designees and the electronic mail addresses for each area can be accessed on the CPCC Web page at

or by contacting the Chair of the Computer Policy Coordination Committee.

The UNLV Information Electronic Mail list is a valuable communication tool that provides timely and effective communication across the campus. The list is used to disseminate information about activities and events that may be of interest to the entire campus.

Subscription to the UNLV Information Electronic Mail list is automatic and occurs at the time an electronic mail account is established. Individuals who wish to be removed from the list should refer to the instructions for unsubscribing found below.

The UNLV Information Electronic Mail address is unlvinformation@ccmail.nevada.edu.

Messages to be distributed via the UNLV Information Electronic Mail list are sent to a mailbox monitored by UNLV News and Public Information using the guidelines described below.
