Managing Emails

The system sends emails to both patrons and staff (program operators and supervisors) as a result of various activity within Program Registration. By default, some emails are sent automatically by the system, while other emails require staff setup. System-generated email includes the following.

  • Program Registration automatically sends email to patrons when they are registered or waitlisted, or when patron registrations are transferred or cancelled.

  • Staff can set up reminder emails to instructors and registered patrons when the section starts in the near future.
  • Program Registration automatically sends advisory emails to the operator when a patron uses the WebPAC to cancel a registration and staff must take some kind of action.
  • Staff can set up various staff alert emails which are sent to the program operator or supervisor.

The following table shows the various system-generated emails that Program Registration can send and the emails' recipients:
