Cornell Mailing Lists
With prior approval, mass mailings can be made to Cornell faculty or to deans, directors, and department heads by using the Faculty or DDD Mailing Lists. Cornell Mail Services already has the necessary data for both of these lists, but before we can send anything out, a sample of the mailing must be approved by the list’s administrators.
There are also mailing lists for students, staff, and alumni available for official use. You may need to provide a copy of your mailing, or a description of how the data will be used when making your data request. When contacting appropriate list-holder, ask that they provide address data tailored specifically for your mailing (i.e. in zip-code order, full-time, retired, Class of 1967, etc.).
CASS Certification for Customer Mailing Lists
CASS certification involves a process that verifies that an address is accurate and adds the “plus-4” to the ZIP code.
NCOA-National Change of Address Database
This database updates the records in your mailing list with change of address information, before your mail piece goes out.
