Student Organization ELECTRONIC RESOURCES
The University hosts student group websites on the Dolphin server and student group e-mail accounts on the Zimbra platform. Web addresses are:
http://www.dolphin.upenn.edu/account_name/
E-mail addresses are:
account_name@zimbra.upenn.edu.
The UA and GAPSA will pay only for websites for their funded organizations, including SAC-recognized groups. Other organizations who want accounts will be charged $3/year for web space and/or $42/year for e-mail accounts. If your group is interested in setting up an account, contact Laura Harcourt, harcourt@upenn.edu.
See the instructions below for information you should know as an account manager and/or webmaster.
How to get to your web files on Dolphin
Many groups use G.O.Penn to mail to their members. Others use free services such as gmail or googlegroups. A for-pay option also exists. Large lists can be managed using ISC’s PennNet Mailing List service (these are lists to which individuals can subscribe and unsubscribe themselves, like the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior class lists). However, your group will be charged for these and SAC will not cover the costs. If you want to set up and pay for one, contact Laura Harcourt.
Most groups use gmail or another free service to receive mail addressed to the group. However, organizations may pay $42 for a Penn account on the Zimbra server if they wish; contact Fran Walker for details.
For those who are not technically inclined, this is a lot of information. Don’t hesitate to ask for help: Laura Harcourt, harcourt@upenn.edu.
