To Subscribe:
If you are a member of NAFSA Region X and want to subscribe to the list, please use the following instructions. In order to subscribe to the list you must send a message to the server that maintains the list (this is not the main address above). To sign on, please send a message
to: lyris@list.brockport.edu
message: subscribe nafsax-l YOUR NAME

Example:
to: lyris@list.brockport.edu
message: subscribe nafsax-l Jane Smith

This message needs to come from the email address that you want all future messages sent to. If you utilize a "signature file" on the bottom of your email communication, you will often need to disable it when sending your subscription message, or else the extra text will confuse the server.

Policies:
List members must adhere to the following:

1. In the subject of your message, please provide an honest and accurate description of your query or posting.

2. Postings are restricted to NAFSA Region X business, or open discussion of issues in international education.

3. No direct advertising will be allowed by "for-profit" businesses. Companies or individuals may apply to the Region's Marketing/Development Representative for information on policies and cost of advertising to the Regional membership via email or paper mailings.

4. Users who violate the guidelines will be unsubscribed from the discussion list at the discretion of the Region X Team.

Sending Messages:
To send a message, you will need to be subscribed to the list. Once subscribed, all messages can be posted to the discussion address: nafsax-l@list.brockport.edu

In the subject of your message, please provide an honest and accurate description of your query or posting. We request that users follow the guidelines for etiquette outlined for INTER-L and SECUSS-L, the discussion lists used nationally by members of NAFSA. Users who violate the guidelines may be unsubscribed from the discussion list by the decision of the Region X Team. All this is to say, use of this discussion list for reasons other than Region X business or the open discussion of issues in international education is strictly prohibited!

In order to clarify your message for recipients of the list, it would be helpful to identify which Knowledge Community your query or announcement might pertain to. Examples might be:

Education Abroad: Pre-departure Orientations?
International Student and Scholar Services: J-1 Visa Regulations? Community Volunteers?
Recruitment, Admissions, and Preparation: Minimum TOEFL Requirements?

Such designations will help you reach your targeted audience more effectively and allow non-interested parties to delete the message and speed up their day

Replying to Messages:
Messages sent to your account via nafsax-L are sent to you via the server, not the individual posting the message. To this end, be aware that by hitting the "reply" command on your email system, your response will proceed to be submitted back to the whole list. If you want to respond directly to the individual for purposes other than answering their query (to request a summary of information, compliment their grammar, etc...) please locate their address in the heading of the message, and submit a new message to their account.

Unsubscribing to the List:
If for any reason you should want to stop receiving messages (leaving the Region, going on vacation, etc...) for any period of time, you must send a blank message directly
to: lyrisl@list.brockport.edu
message: unsubscribe nafsax-l

Contact Information:
NAFSAX-L is hosted by both the Office of International Education and Academic Computing Services at SUNY College at Brockport. If you have followed the above guidelines and are still encountering problems with the list, please contact:
