UT Health Science Center Listserv Information -

At UT Health Science Center, we have four primary campuswide mailing lists that are available for use, but please note that access to these lists is restricted:

        1. Campuswide List
        2. Student List
        3. Staff List
        4. Faculty List

Should you find yourself in need of creating a new listserv for departmental or group communication, you can easily do so by visiting the UT Health Science Center Listserv Page. You can also find information on UTHSC’s public mailing listservs, each with its own specific description. It is also important to be aware of our moderation policies.

  • The Campuswide, Student, and Staff mailing lists are moderated; this means messages sent to these lists undergo a review process before distribution.
  • For the Faculty list, messages from faculty members are distributed without moderation, while those submitted by non-faculty members will be reviewed prior to sending.
The University of Tennessee Health Science Center has had a strong and established tradition of volunteer faculty participation in its missions. Indeed, volunteer faculty play a major role in educating our students in their chosen profession. UTHSC recognizes that our students would be less proficient in their chosen field without exposure to practicing clinicians and researchers. The UT Health Science Center Faculty Handbook, specifically Section 6.2.6, has more information on the appointment and promotion of volunteer faculty.

If you are a new volunteer faculty member, we welcome you and thank you for your faculty efforts!

Volunteer faculty may access a variety of services at UT Health Science Center including, but not limited to:

To access some UT Health Science Center resources, volunteer faculty require one or more of the following:

  • NetID and password - all students, faculty, and staff at the University of Tennessee have a NetID and password. Your NetID permits secure access to several web-based applications, including the Library, Blackboard, and others. Your appointing department can notify you once you have a NetID.
    • How do you know you have a NetID? Once you are added to our online directory, your NetID (an 8-character unique identifier) is official and can be used.
  • UT Health Science Center ID card - Identification cards allow access to secure buildings on campus, including the Library, Fitness Center, and other facilities and activities. ID cards must be worn in a visible fashion when on campus. Read more about ID cards and controlled access systems.

Annual FERPA Notice for Faculty & Staff - our institution must comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) that establishes legal parameters governing access to and release of student records.
