Mon Aug 21 18:52: CS and JMC Students have now been "advanced" to the next year: mailing lists will update shortly

Duncan C White

We have now "advanced" or "rolled over" all CS and JMC students to the next year in the CSG users table, to reflect the "2017-18 academic year view". In an hour or two, the mailing list memberships will reflect this. In particular, for the next few weeks, there are no first year students (until we create the incoming 2017-18 students' accounts in the last 10 days of September. Another consequence is that the various "final year" lists are NOT THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE JUST GRADUATED. Do not "email the final years" in the next month thinking "that's the students who have just graduated". If you needed to contact all such students in the next month, we could provide the list of specific graduates whose accounts we intend to archive in mid September - email doc-help@imperial.ac.uk if you need this info.
