Manage Subscriptions

This article applies to: E-lists (Simplelists)

Subscribe to an E-List

For e-lists that allow self-subscription, follow the instructions below, otherwise contact the administrators of the e-list for assistance.

If you know the name of the e-list, visit https://lists.cornell.edu/REPLACE-WITH-NAME-OF-LIST-L/subscribe/ then proceed with the steps below.

If you don't know the name of the e-list, visit lists.cornell.edu, then under the Subscribe portion of the main page, select the list(s) you want to subscribe to using the List dropdown. Proceed with the steps below.

  1. Optionally enter your Full name.
  2. Enter your Email address.
  3. Click Subscribe. You will be sent an email asking you to confirm your subscription.
  4. Click the link in the email.
  5. Click Confirm Request on the web page.

If the e-list is configured to require human approval, the administrators will be notified. Otherwise, you are now a member of that e-list.

Which E-Lists Have I Joined?

  1. Visit https://lists.cornell.edu/
  2. Scroll down to the My subscriptions section, then enter your Email address.
  3. Click Get access. You'll receive an email.
  4. Click the link in your email.
  5. Click Confirm request.

A list of all e-lists you're subscribed to will be displayed.

Only the subscriber can see which Simplelists e-lists they are subscribed to. Other people, including e-list administrators, don't have access to this information.

Unsubscribe from an E-List

Some e-lists won't allow you to unsubscribe because membership to that list is a requirement of the business relationship between you and the activity that e-list supports, such as part of your employment, or enrollment, or use of a service. 

For e-lists that allow you to unsubscribe, or which require admin approval for unsubscription, follow the instructions below, otherwise contact the administrators of the e-list for assistance. If you believe you shouldn't be a member of an e-list, and you can't resolve the issue with the administrators, please contact e-list support through the Cornell IT Service Desk.

  1. Follow the steps above to access the list of your subscriptions.
  2. Select Unsubscribe
  3. Select yes, please unsubscribe me to unsubscribe from the e-List. You will receive a confirmation email.
