The "Mail to All" mailing lists, namely: allstaff@lists.ust.hk, allpg-list@lists.ust.hk and allug-list@lists.ust.hk, provide a convenient way for departments and offices to reach HKUST Staff and Students by email. These mailing lists are system-generated and must only be used for sending out essential messages that keep the University community up-to-date. The recipients should ideally find all the messages that they received from these mailing lists are relevant to them, and senders can be assured that their message can reach their target audience in a timely and effective manner. As recipients cannot opt-out from these lists, the messages should mainly be on important administrative announcements or academic purposes. Examples include:
- announcements about the missions, strategies, operations, or standpoints of the University
- information about study, examination, student finances or housing matters
- advices pertaining to urgent health, safety or emergency situations
- messages required by the law or about compliance to regulations
- other important messages such as University’s press releases pertaining to the interest of all University members.
Such lists should not be used for event announcement & promotions, non-University related activities (e.g. commercial and private activities) or electoral campaigns.
To send email to allstaff@lists.ust.hk, allpg-list@lists.ust.hk or allug-list@lists.ust.hk mailing lists, the following is required:
