The University of Manchester Listserv: New Email List Request Form

The following information is needed to setup a new list at the University of Manchester. Your request will be passed to the IT Service Desk for validation and approval. Once approved (we aim to have a full working day response), you will be able to modify the list options and subscribers list. The list starts off with the owner as the only subscriber.

Our FAQ document is available to help you fill in this form.
