E-mail addresses are increasingly difficult to acquire as potential recipients become more selective about their personal e-mail.
The perception of receiving too many unsolicited e-mails leads to recipients who unsubscribe from all e-mail communication.
Greater segmentation of content based on the known or perceived interests of a recipient increases the likelihood that a recipient will indeed read an e-mail.
Maintaining a consistent look and feel of an e-mail is essential in promoting the UD brand.
Based on the rationale above, the University of Dallas will utilize the following e-mail communication policy for e-mails sent en masse to alumni, parents and donors.

Advancement will confirm the receipt of the materials and estimated e-mail send date. Send date will depend on other scheduled e-mails and the priority level of the e-mail (see “priority” section of this document).
A draft of the e-mail will be sent to the requestor. Two people must approve the draft:
