To ensure your class communications are up-to-date with drops, adds, and withdrawals, we strongly recommend using the Moodle messaging feature over using the app to create a class email list.
1. In your browser, enable Gmail as your default email handler
If the icon does not appear, you may have previously disallowed this option. Please see the bottom of this tutorial to reenable this
For browsers other than Chrome, search for "Changing default email handler" for instructions

2. Make sure to click "allow" and "done"

3. Go to app.hope.edu and click on "My College Account" then "Faculty"

4. Click on "Class and Wait Lists"

5. Click on the class you'd like to email

6. Select the students to email

7. Click the envelope icon (mailto:)
8. This will redirect you to Gmail with a new email draft to your class
