This article is for faculty and staff who wish to use the HuskyCT email tool to communicate with students.
The instructor can use the Email tool in HuskyCT to send information to one or more of the students at their uconn.edu email address. A copy of the email will go to the instructor sending it. If students reply to the email received, the response will go to the instructor’s uconn.edu email address.
Instructors can access the Send Email function through Course Tools in the Control Panel and the Grade Center. To give students access, it must be added as a Tool Link to the left-hand navigation menu.
Accessing the Send Email Function
Navigate to the Control Panel.
Select Course Tools.
Click on Send Email.
Click on one of the student recipient options. If All Student Users is chosen, the next step will be composing the email. If Single/Select Users is chosen, you need to first select the recipients from a list.
Alternatively, you can access the Send Email function through the Grade Center. To do so,
Click on Grade Center under Control Panel.
Click Full Grade Center.
Use the checkboxes to select at least one student. You may select more, as needed.
Click the Email button.
Composing and Sending the Email
There may be some minor differences in the appearance of the screen where the email is composed depending on where the Email tool was accessed (Course Tools or Grade Center).
Enter a Subject.
Enter a Message.
Check the box next to Return Receipt (may say "Include list of recipients") to have a record of the recipients of the email.
Click Attach a file to attach a file. After one file has been attached, it is possible to attach another.
Click Submit to send the email.
