Although it is recommended to use the Quercus Inbox/Conversations tool to communicate with your students, there are times when you would choose to email your students instead of using the Inbox tool.
There are two methods to download students' email addresses in a CSV format. Both options also include student names and UTORids. The option you select will depend on what additional information you require:
- A New Analytics Report: Select this option if you have sections in your course and would like to include information about section membership in your file download.
- The UT Advanced Group Tool: Select this option if, in addition to UTORid information and email, you also need Student Number information in your file download.
1. On the Home page, select New Analytics
2. Select "Reports"
3. Run Report for "Class Roster"
4. Run Report
- This filter option allows you to export reports based on sections.
- If no filters have been selected, then selecting "Run Report" will export a CSV for the entire class.

Your roster will appear in your Quercus Inbox - it will not download automatically. After selecting the Generate Course Roster Report button, you will see the following message: The report is being generated and will be delivered to your Quercus Inbox when ready. It may take a few minutes.
