We have enabled additional functionality for the Faculty Grade Level distribution lists. Users will now be able to add/removed themselves from any of the grade level lists. Open OWA (Outlook Web App, i.e. in a browser login to Office 365 and open Outlook) and go through the following steps to see which distribution lists you are a member of and which you own.
1. Click the Gear icon in the upper right.
2. Click Outlook Settings (near bottom)
3. Click General
4. Click Distribution Groups
You will see the lists you belong to and the ones you own. Click the two little people with the + sign to search for the group you want to request to join. If you want to remove yourself from a list, highlight it and click the two little people with the minus sign.
Note:
We recommend joining the grade level lists that will impact you the most. The Grade Level lists are members of higher level lists that primarily contain only other lists as members. For example, 11th Grade Faculty is a member of US Faculty. Therefore if you join 11th Grade Faculty you will also receive email sent to US Faculty so there would be no reason to join US Faculty. This reduces the administrative overhead of the distribution lists by only joining the most relevant ones to you.
Owners:
If you are an owner of a group you can add/remove people from a list by highlighting it and clicking the pencil.
When users request to join a group you manage you will automatically get notified via email and you can approve/decline the request from that email.
Troubleshooting:
If the Distribution Groups page doesn't load (white screen), try the following in no particular order: close/open tab, clear cache, reboot.
