This article is for faculty and staff who wish to learn how to create an announcement in order to communicate with students in HuskyCT. 

For Ultra Course View, refer to: https://uconn.atlassian.net/l/cp/RKuWssXZ

Prior to the Beginning of the Semester:

Use the announcement tool to communicate with your students in courses that are not yet available. If you send a copy of the announcement via email, the students will receive the announcement. Since the course is not open yet, the students will be unable to access any links to HuskyCT in the announcement.

  1. Click on the Announcements link in the left-hand navigation menu.

  2. Click Create Announcement.

  3. Enter the message in the text editor.

  4. Duration Setting: The default setting is Not Date Restricted. This can be changed to Date Restricted, which requires display dates.

  5. Recommended: Check the box next to Email Announcement to send email announcements immediately after each announcement.
    Note: If this setting remains unchecked, students will still receive the message in an email, but it may be delayed and the sender will be DoNotReply@uconn.edu which increases the chance it will be treated as spam.

  6. Click Submit. 

For more information or assistance with HuskyCT, please contact the Educational Technology Office at edtech@uconn.edu or (860) 486-5052.
