The Send Email feature located in the Communications area allows you to send email through your Shippensburg University email account. You will not receive this email WITHIN the Blackboard Course Shell. You should check your Shippensburg University email account often.

Using Send Email Feature

Using the Send Email feature in Blackboard is as simple as filling out a form. Your first task is choosing the receipient(s) you wish to email.

The directions on the screen will differ depending on the choice you make. If you choose the All User option, as shown in the graphic below, the "To:" and "From:" areas will automatically be filled in for you. Typically you will need to fill in the Subject heading, type in your message and attach any files. Once you have completed filling out the form, click on the Submit button.
