This guide covers the process of creating a student email distribution list in Outlook from an exported Process Scheduler request created by GullNet.

Use GullNet to create your Email list

The first step in the process is to get the student e-mail data from GullNet into a file that Outlook can use.

  1. Log into GullNet at http://www.salisbury.edu/gullnet
  2. Click Main Menu.
  3. Click SU Custom.
  4. Click Student Records.
  5. Click Report.
  6. Click Student E-Mail List.
  7. Select the Term and the optional parameters. In the example below, all of the prompt boxes are filled, but typically only one or two options are sufficient. Leaving a field blank will select all possible values. You can also select multiple plans or levels in any combination. The Acad Prog will rarely be used, so you should leave that blank.
