Since Christopher Newport University uses a web-based e-mail system, there is some required setup to e-mail your advisees. The easiest way to do so is using the Chrome browser. The first time that you try to e-mail your advisees, you may need to set up Chrome to handle e-mail links.
Setting up Chrome to Handle E-mail Links (one-time)
To do so, navigate to your CNU e-mail. You’ll see the following symbol in the Address Bar:
Click on the symbol and the following menu will appear.
Select “Use Christopher Newport University Mail” from the menu and click “Done”. From now on, any e-mail link you click on within Chrome will open up in your CNU e-mail.
E-mailing your Advisees (each time)
Once you have set up Chrome to handle e-mail links, you can follow these directions each time to e-mail your advisees:
- Open Chrome and log in to Connect.
- On the Start Page, on the right side of the blue banner, click on CNU Live.
- Select Faculty Services and then select Advisor Menu.
- Enter the term, and select View Advisee List. Scroll to the bottom of the listing where it says "E-mail to Advisees"
- Click on the "E-mail advisees"
- An e-mail window will pop up.
This procedure only works with Chrome.
