Official Communication
Policy 940.00
Policy Statement
Email is the University of Vermont Larner College of Medicine's (LCOM) official means of communication. Students are expected to check their LCOM (MED domain; @med.uvm.edu) e-mail accounts daily and maintain the account so that it remains functional
(e.g., not allowing their mailboxes to exceed the quota, not forwarding it to a third party account, etc.). Students who do not read official notices sent in email are not excused from responsibility for email contents.
Policy Elaboration
Class Outlook distribution lists are protected, and only select individuals have the ability to email class distribution lists.
The WeeklyWire, the LCOM medical student newsletter, is LCOM’s primary communication tool for all
non-curriculum-related communication to the student community. Students who do not read official notices sent in email are not excused from responsibility for email contents, including all WeeklyWire content. Students who wish to email the student
community with non-curriculum-related content may submit their email to a faculty advisor, staff support, and/or a Dean for Students for review.
