Course Aliases

Course Aliases/Groups

Course aliases are Google Groups as an e-mail address for the instructor and students in a course. These follow the format [Subject][Course Number]-[Section]-[term][calendar year], for example: AN201G-1-SP2022@eckerd.edu

This fields can be found when you browse classes on registration.eckerd.edu. To breakdown the example"

• Subject: AN

• Course Number: 201G

• Section: 1 - This will show with leading zeros when browsing classes

• term: FA, SP, SU for Fall, Spring and Summer and the calendar year

Note: Courses before Spring '22 (Term 202120) do not have the year in the name (ex.: an201g-1-fa)

ITS generates the following types of e-mail aliases from Banner for each Term:

• course

• class year

• collegium

• major

• mentor

• housing

Class Year

All the students classified by class year: frosh, sophomores, juniors,

and seniors@eckerd.edu. In addition you can reach the entire student

body with <students@eckerd.edu>, and all of campus for general-interest

events using <campus-events@eckerd.edu>.

In addition, we generate the group autumn-all@eckerd.edu for all participants in Autumn Term.

Collegium

All the students, divided by which Collegium their major falls under.

The name is [collegium]_students, for example:

<nas_students@eckerd.edu>

Major

All students who have declared a given major. In addition, this is

broken down my class year. The formats are [major name, with spaces

replaced by underscores]_major and [major name, with spaces

replaced by underscores]_[classyear], for example:

<visual_arts_major@eckerd.edu> and <visual_arts_freshmen@eckerd.edu>

Mentor

All the students mentored by a given faculty member. The format is

[faculty-email]_mentees, for example (if Walter Moore were a mentor):

<moorewr_mentees@eckerd.edu>

Housing

Aliases for each House and Complex, following the formats [house

name]_house and [complex name]_complex, for

example: <prasch_house@eckerd.edu> and <alpha_complex@eckerd.edu>

Exceptions...

Nu and Omega do not have House aliases. Omega has floor aliases -omega_house_1@eckerd.edu through omega_house_3@eckerd.edu. Nu has section aliases nu_house_1_4@eckerd.edu through nu_9_12@eckerd.edu.
