How do I submit an announcement? When are the Student Announcements
sent? Can I send out a special announcement, separate from the digest? How many announcements am I allowed to submit? Can you automatically repeat this announcement for x number of days? Can I attach files to my announcement? What if I want to cancel or change my announcement?
To cancel an announcement, please send a request to sga-moderator@skidmore.edu. Be sure to send this request from your Skidmore
email account. Please include the subject of your announcement, as well as the date it was submitted.
All requests for changes or cancellations must be received by 11:00pm on the night that the digest will be sent.
If you have any questions about these policies, please email sga-moderator@skidmore.edu.
Simply visit the following page:
http://student.skidmore.edu/announcements/submit.html.
Log in with your Skidmore user ID and password, and fill out the form. Within a few minutes, you should receive a
confirmation that your announcement was received.
The Student Announcements digest and class digests are sent out on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday nights at midnight, or
slightly after. For your announcement to be included in that night's digest, the deadline for submission is 9:00 PM.
I did not intend for my announcement to reach students. What's
going on?
Any email sent to everyone-list will also be sent to the SGA moderator as a student
announcements submission. If your message is only for faculty/staff, please use all-employees-list@skidmore.edu
Only those with specific authorization may access the class lists directly. If you believe you have an urgent, safety
related announcement, please contact Campus Safety at x5566.
Repeated announcements for the same topic take up space in the digest and are often disregarded. Please try to limit the
number of announcements you send to one
announcement per subject per week. To promote your event, try using Skidmore's new online calendar.
Upcoming events can be viewed by day,
week, or month, and users can sign up to receive automatic updates of events of their choice. While this technology is
relatively new, it is growing in popularity and everyone is encouraged to post their events to the calendar online. From the
main Skidmore page, click on "calendar" in the upper-right corner, or simply visit this page to submit an event.
You must submit a separate announcement every time you want it to appear. However,
please limit announcements of the same subject to once per week.
The student announcements digest is for text messages only and cannot accept any file attachments, including pictures or word
documents. If you have a file that you need to make available to the student body, please post it to your personal skidmore
webpage and then submit an announcement with a link pointing to it. If you're unsure of how to do this, some instructions are
available here.
The CITS helpdesk can also assist you. They can be reached at x5900.
If you wish to make a correction to an announcement that you have already submitted, please submit the entire corrected
announcement over again. Then, send an email to sga-moderator@skidmore.edu
with a request to disregard the first submission. Please do not submit a request asking
to replace a certain word or sentence, as it is much easier to replace the entire
announcement.
