What are the Email Limitations & Policies at UNCW?

Answer

All faculty, staff and students have the ability to send emails at UNCW.

*Please note: We strongly recommend that prior to sending any emails to a large number of recipients, you read UNCW's Mass Email policy. This policy strengthens internal communication by addressing concerns from the campus community about excess emails sent to the entire student body and/or all faculty & staff.
