Get Started with Google Groups

Overview

Google Groups allows staff, faculty, and university departments and organizations to use email lists for distribution of news, upcoming events, and/or general discussion among members. Students desiring a group related to a class, or club activities, please have the faculty, or club sponsor submit a request on your behalf. Those with permissions will be able to send messages to that address, which are forwarded to all members of the group.

Managing your Google Groups is simple, too. Group managers are provided controls, enabling them to add or delete members, assign privileges, and more. You can also set up monitoring to let a manager vet emails before they go out to the entire group.

Google Groups integrate with other Google apps to easily share Google Docs among members.
