Overview

This document walks through the necessary steps for a faculty member to send messages to a class via the SJSU Messaging functionality. Messaging places a customized message to one or more students on their MySJSU account and sends an email notification overnight, letting them know they have a new message waiting.

Send Messages by Class Roster

   • Subject
   • Message Text
   • URL #1, #2: These are optional, and will appear as web address links in the student's message
   • Expiration Date: This field is mandatory. After the message expires, the student will no longer be able to read it
