UCL, Department of Computer Science - Module Mailing Lists
All undergraduate students, from any department
or on any programme, who register for a CS module must join the
mail list for the module. They are required to read email sent to
them. All mail sent to module lists is also copied to newsgroups
at IS as a backup measure in case students do not wish to keep
email, or join the course late. For the convenience of students
with accounts in the CS department, the mail is also copied to local
bulletin boards (readable by "bbc xxxx" where xxx is the
module code, eg 1007).
In the case of a dispute over what students have been told the
newsgroups will be definitive. Thus students are expected to be
able to read newsgroups, and instructions on how to do this are
given below.
Joining a Module Mailing List
To join a module mail list send an email to
xxxx-request@cs.ucl.ac.uk
(where xxxx is the module code), with
the one word
join
in the subject field. That's all. (But please do not forget to include the word -request in the address!)
You will receive a confirmation that your name has been added.
If you do not receive this, seek help.
You MUST join the module list for any course in
which you wish to be examined, as soon as possible.
To Read a Newsgroup
Software for reading newsgroups is available on all IS computers. Please consult the IS help-desk for instructions on configuring and using this software.
All our newsgroups are under local.cs.
Thus the newsgroup for the course 1007 goes under the name of
local.cs.1007
