Email Distribution Lists (Sympa)

Cal Poly email lists are created and managed using a mailing list management tool called Sympa. Faculty, instructors, staff and owners of department or club accounts can manage their email distribution lists through the My Cal Poly Portal.

Sympa lists cannot be created from a personal account - they can only be created by departmental accounts.

If any duplicate email addresses exist, the Sympa system only sends one email per unique email address.

Quickstart

Department accounts, faculty, instructors, and staff have direct access to Sympa via the My Cal Poly Portal > My Apps > Email Distribution Lists using a department or club account.
