Email Lists

All lists created for SILS community projects and organizations will be created and maintained by faculty, students or staff at https://selfservice.unc.edu/client/self-service/#/list-manager. All class lists are maintained by the administrative office in conjunction with faculty members. Please speak with your professor if you need assistance with a class list.
