Essential Mailing Lists

An icon of an envelope with a bulleted list next to it Wheaton College uses LISTSERV to send messages from departments and other groups. If your department distributes critical or required messages, you may have permission to send essential messages to all students, faculty, or staff.


Read the Internal Digital Communication Policy before distributing campus announcements.

Recipients cannot unsubscribe from essential LISTSERV mailing lists. These lists are automatically populated and send information that subscribers absolutely need as a student, faculty member, or staff member.

  • Announcements from the President's Office
  • Required information from the Provost, Human Resources, or Registrar
  • Emergency information
  • Service outages

For security reasons, the email addresses for sending essential messages are not listed publicly. Please contact us if you need access to these addresses.
