STUDENT LISTSERV POLICY
The purpose of the Price student listservs is to disseminate Price School official communiques, provide information that is important to students as they progress through their academic programs, and provide information on events and opportunities that might be of interest to students.
The Price School has four types of listservs:
These listservs will be used for the dissemination of information and not for discussion. Posting will be limited to faculty, staff, and students who serve in official administrative capacities within the school, and permissions to post will be set based on the individual’s administrative role. If you do not have permission to post, please refer to the guidelines below to determine who can assist you in appropriately distributing your message.

Degree Program Listservs
Posting on the Price School degree program listservs is limited to official communiques and information that is important to students as they progress through the program. These listservs will not be used to communicate student organization events, optional careers services opportunities, job announcements, or research center events and opportunities.
Posting will be limited to:
o Respective departmental staff (department chair/program director/program administrator)
o Dean’s Office staff
o Student Affairs staff
o Career Services staff
o Academic Affairs staff
o Diversity, Equity and Inclusion staff
o IT staff
o External Affairs staff
Other than those who are eligible to post, faculty and staff will not automatically be members of these lists and will not have the ability to post to these listservs. Faculty, staff and students who would like to have information posted to the degree program listservs should forward their messages to the appropriate department chair or program administrator or to individuals in the offices listed above.
All students will be members of their respective listservs. Each student will be a member of the listserv of the degree they’re enrolled in and the degree level (e.g., MPA students would be on the MPA listserv [email protected] and the all master’s student listserv [email protected]
Since e-mail is the primary medium we will be using to communicate important USC and Price policies, students will not have the ability to opt out.
Faculty and staff may opt in. Instructions for doing so are in the Opt In section below.
