Add Email Link, Subject and Body

This is an HTML code snipet that you can copy and paste into any D2L content item or news item. You will need to be in the CODE view to paste and then edit to personalize for your course and use. Change the email address to be your email (campus or other account), then edit the text for the subjectline and body. Students need to be using their home/work computer where an email client (Outlook, Mail, Eudora) will open automatically filling in these fields. If students are using campus computers, give them details on how to address the message to you - they will use copy and paste into the appropriate fields.

<a title="" href="mailto:YOUREMAIL@scc.losrios.edu?subject=Email is --so 1990's&body=Grandma still does email :-)">Send me message now</a>
Send email to YOUREMAIL@scc.losrios.edu
Subject: Email is --so 1990's
Message begins: Grandma still does email :-)

Email Fall Students ??

Enrollment for fall classes is a month away. If you want to reachout now and contact your future students by email, remember that the Online Grading System (Socrates) has a Contact Students tab for each roster. You can send email to enrolled students or students on a waitlist.

Enrollment is automated and students will appear in D2L 5 days before classes begin. (5 days before the full semester, 5 days before the second 8 weeks, 5 days before the third 6 weeks ...)

Faculty will need to make their classes Active so students will see a link.
