Listserv Exception Request

Overview

Listserv (sometimes stylized as LISTSERV) provides an easy way to create mailing lists. These lists can be used for email-based distribution of information, discussion, Q&A, etc. Lists are created and “owned” by a user who manages the list’s behavior and subscribers.

Exceptions to Listserv policies can be requested by sending an email at least two business days in advance to exception@hamilton.edu. Please be specific in your request and your request will be communicated back. You may also fill out this service request form here with the same information instead.
